Sony Launches Tablet S in China

Sony Tablet S

Sony Tablet S in Tokyo earlier this month

We told you earlier today about Apple’s 3G iPad 2 going on sale to a lukewarm reception in China. But it’s not the only new arrival in the Middle Kingdom this week, and Sony’s Tablet S went on sale in the country today.

We attended Sony’s recent press conference in Tokyo showing off the Tablet S, as well as its more portable sibling, the Tablet P. The Wi-Fi version of the Tablet S (formerly referred to as the S1 tablet) is now on sale in selected outlet stores and online.

The 16 gigabyte version is priced at 3688 RMB (about $577), while the 32 gigabyte version is 4,488 RMB (about $700). According to the Sony China announcement, leather cases are also available, priced at 699 RMB ($110).

No word yet on when the 3G versions might be made available, or whether the Sony’s dual screen folding tablet, the Tablet P, will be sold anytime soon.
