The new Sony Xperia Tablet S will be available in Canada starting at $399, making the magazine-shaped tablet more than $100 cheaper than the third generation iPad. Sony Canada's Web site says that the 16 GB model comes at $399, and the 32 GB costs $499. The slate claims to be splash-proof and features a powerful quad-core Tegra 3 processor, an infrared emitter for controlling other devices, Sony's own ClearAudio+ technology, and a full-sized SD card slot. The tablet, which borrows the same curved, futuristic design of its predecessor, is scheduled for a September 7th U.S. release.
