Sony to Challenge Apple With Its Own Tablet

Sony hinted today that it is preparing to challenge the Apple iPad with a tablet of its own.

According to ComputerWorld, Sony CF Nobuyuki Oneda made the following statements at a Tokyo news conference held to announce the company's quarterly financials.

"That is a market we are also very interested in. We are confident we have the skills to create a product," Oneda said.


"Time-wise we are a little behind the iPad but it's a space we would like to be an active player in," said Oneda.

In October, Sony plans to launch a number of new mobile products built around network-based services. These devices will connect into Sony's new Internet store that will offer music, movies, games, and ebooks to many Sony products including TVs, PCs, Media Players, and E-Book Readers.
