Sony Tablet P product manager Mr. Just introduced the Tablet P development process

3C product development process is actually very consumption-we often time-consuming, said the machine copy of that machine, but outside except appearance, actually the internal parts of the development and not a easy goal and, and like Sony released today this Tablet P completely different design products, is even more so. In order to further understand the idea behind Tablet P design with the birth process, and we have the opportunity to today is in charge of this product, the product's manager, VAIO and Mobile business department, enterprise painting strategy department enterprises draw to two parts commodity enterprises draw lessons (a long!) After the cane Mr. Just sit down together and, to hear the story behind the Tablet P.

In fact the history of Tablet P quite deep is far stream long, is the earliest it is to be in the PDA age ended, Sony consider how we can provide consumers with a convenient online tools. This tool must have can see in the big picture of the web

at the same time, they can take in his pocket, and therefore to begin with the screen which folded in half of the idea. Therefore Sony made all kinds of Mockup (also spent a lot of silver), but in the end is above the 300 Japanese yen to buy wallet refitted samples became the father of the most early Tablet P.

Of course, in the process of development, Sony first concern is the Form Factor, but not a specific software and hardware, so in the first concept development, appeared like this monster of two Vaio UX--do the core of "double screen Internet access device". In addition to early considered X86 / Windows architecture outside, Netbook just in the time considered ARM/Linux, of course, wait until after its Android, ARM/Android combination nature became the best choose. To this point, the development of the time also Tablet P longer than its Tablet S brother, but later for marketing needs, both are to the same series of merger.

At the beginning of the development of the many possible when the screen size, above three set mockup are simulated 1024 x480 resolution (and the actual Tablet P) seen under the text, just different screen sizes, from left to right, for 5 inches, 6 inches and seven inches. Finally the limit by hardware, Sony chose the size of 5.5 "screen, but seven inches of machines and about.......

Asked about the process of development of Tablet P, the most difficult part is??????? After the said Mr Cane smile "whole", after all, not only to the development of the Tablet P face how to put and internal hardware Tablet S tucked into in the fuselage of a much smaller, and heat dissipation, and how to connect the two and a half of circuit version of the problem. On the latter, the answer is above can be Sony article saw these two coaxial cable flat cable, a total of more than 50 of the article, from both sides of the axis wear the past. Just look at this picture is easy to understand why Sony are very satisfied. Bottom side has processor, microSD card slot and the battery, which can be free replacement battery, Sony also has to sell the single Tablet P battery, which in the modern flat computer is a rare design.

The other side is mainly 3 G card to occupy and for 3 G network adapter and the CPU is calorific value machine's two largest components, so have to put them in different two. From the photograph also can ambiguously see the show a little light magnesium alloy frame.

Part of the software, Tablet P active cognitive is this is a 1024 x960 resolution screen, how will it as two separate 1024 x480 resolution screen to use, he relied on the Sony specifically for Tablet P prepared SDK. Double screen with a lot of potential, but the fact is that in many people have a Tablet P (or similar products) before, developers, it is difficult to invest a lot of effort to write it the right software, and lack the ability play can it out of the software, it is hard to attract customers buy Tablet P. Sony now just do a development competition, produce more than 130 various Tablet P with program, but not enough to attract consumers don't know enough? Of course, even without the support of process can run, just 1024 x960 is a relatively rare resolution just. The above picture was a into the lateral, can show two different TAB browser App, is this an example.

Tablet P built-in 2 GB memory, and then sent a 2 GB microSD card (also has 4 GB is shipment) and carrying black and white and double color shell, at NT $18800, 2/7 ~ 3/14 purchase between, and a 16 GB microSD card; At the same time and it's brother listed Tablet S 3 G version, built-in 16 GB memory, and then sent 16 GB memory a, flat cases turn and USB connection, price is NT $18800.
