The clamshell S2 has taken on the name Tablet P, presumably for its Playstation-centric nature, rocks two 5.5 inch displays at 1024x800, a 1Ghz Tegra 2 processor, 5MP and VGA front and rear cameras, 4GB of storage, SD card slot, and a microUSB port. The P will also run on AT&T's network, but no word of pricing or availability just yet.

Sony laid the cross device connectivity on pretty heavy, as both devices are made to interact, control, and otherwise manipulate other Sony devices, such as Bravia HDTVs, via infared.

Two Optimally Designed Android™ Devices Deliver Portability, Easy Handling and an Immersive Entertainment Experience

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony today announced the market launch of its first two Sony Tablet™ devices. The Android-powered Sony Tablet S and Sony Tablet P devices combine unique hardware, content and network services with seamless usability to create a world of engaging networked entertainment experiences.

Available for pre-sale today and on shelves next month, the Sony Tablet S device is optimized for rich media entertainment on its 9.4-inch touchscreen display. With a powerful NVIDIA® Tegra™ 2 mobile processor, the Sony Tablet S device lets you enjoy the web as well as your favorite content and applications on its large, high-resolution screen. Weighing in at just about 1.33 lbs., its unique asymmetric design allows for hours of comfortable use and built-in Wi-Fi® compatibility means Internet connectivity virtually anywhere there's a hotspot.

Available later this year, the Sony Tablet P device is ideal for mobile communication and entertainment. With its innovative folding design, two 5.5-inch displays and weight at about 0.83 lbs., it can easily fit into a pocket, purse or backpack. It features the same NVIDIA® Tegra™ 2 mobile processor and is both Wi-Fi compatible and 4G capable exclusively on AT&T's mobile broadband network,(1) offering users access to digital content including videos, games, and e-mail, while on the go, nearly anytime.

Both devices run on Android, Android 3.1 on Sony Tablet S devices(2) and Sony Tablet P devices will be equipped with Android 3.2 by the time they ship. Both models feature front and rear facing cameras that allow for video recording and capturing still images. The devices also support micro USB interface and SD card.

Sony Tablet devices are also distinguished by four key features that set them apart from any other tablets on the market. These include: optimally designed hardware and software, a "swift and smooth" experience, network entertainment services and cross-device functionality.
"These devices truly represent the best of everything Sony has to offer," said Mike Lucas, senior vice president of Sony Electronics' Networked Technology and Services Division. "From hardware to software and services, Sony Tablet devices embody all our innovations rolled into one."

Optimally Designed Hardware and Software

Unlike other tablet devices, Sony Tablet S device has an ergonomic, asymmetric design which allows it to be easily held or carried for long periods of time. The unique form factor shifts the device's weight closer to your palm, making it feel lighter and more comfortable while reading an e-book or watching a video. The screen is sloped when placed on a flat surface, enhancing visibility and making typing more comfortable. Placing a Sony Tablet S device onto a specialized charging cradle (sold separately) converts the device into a digital photo frame, a digital clock that displays customizable information or chumby with access to over 1,500 fun and entertaining apps.

Software taking advantage of the unprecedented design of the Sony Tablet P device allows its dual screens to be used for different functions simultaneously such as playing video on one screen while using the other as a controller or reading email on one screen while using the other as a virtual keyboard. The displays can also be combined to form a single large screen for Internet browsing and more. By holding the device vertically, you can also read eBooks much in the same manner you would a physical book.

Both Sony Tablet devices are equipped with Sony's TruBlack™ displays which reduce reflection and glare from sunlight or fluorescent light for high-contrast visibility both indoors and out.

Swift and Smooth Experience

A combination of Sony technologies, Quick view and Quick touch, allow for faster loading of web pages, a highly responsive and fluid touch screen as well as an exceptionally intuitive user interface. The large keys of the virtual keyboard take full advantage of screen real estate while automatically adjusting to the task at hand. A numeric keypad pops up when inputting passwords and word suggestions or auto word complete make email and texting a breeze.

Networked Entertainment

Both Sony Tablet devices come complete with access to a full suite of Sony's network entertainment services.

• Sony Entertainment Network services: Video Unlimited is your ticket to the latest releases from every major movie studio to rent or own. A pre-open campaign for the Sony Tablet devices will be offered at device launch with limited content and more content will continue to be released over time.

• Music Unlimited, available in October, offers instant access to a global catalog of over 10 million songs from every major record label (numbers vary by country). Simply sync to the cloud and enjoy the music you love on Sony Tablet devices or any other Internet-enabled Sony device. A six month trial basic membership from Music Unlimited and a free movie download from Video Unlimited come with the purchase of each device.  

• PlayStation® Certified: Sony Tablet devices are the first PlayStation® Certified tablets that provide out-of-the-box gaming with included favorites "Crash Bandicoot" and "Pinball Heroes."

• Reader™ Store: Access bestsellers, new releases, classics, magazines and more from more than 2.5 million titles at Reader™ Store by Sony. The store's intuitive reading interface is ideal for on-the-go reading, allowing book lovers to set bookmarks, make highlights and adjust font sizes as they read. A free eBook download is included with the purchase of the device.

• Personal Space™ by Sony: This free service allows you to easily share pictures and videos captured on Sony Tablet devices. You can also access albums that were previously uploaded from other devices.

Video, music, games and other content can be directly accessed by way of the "Favorites" menu without the need to re-launch any of the respective applications.

Cross Device Connectivity

Control your home entertainment system and enjoy content in new ways. With Sony Tablet devices, you can "throw" personal pictures and video to DLNA compatible televisions such as BRAVIA® HDTVs with the touch of a button. You can also throw music to compatible wireless speakers such as Sony's HomeShare™ speakers. The Sony Tablet S device, which is equipped with infrared technology, can act as a remote control for multiple home entertainment components such as TVs, Blu-ray Disc™ players, cable and satellite boxes, and more. The built-in Universal remote not only controls your Sony products, but other brands as well. Sony Tablet S device is the world's first Android Tablet running Honeycomb with a built in A/V remote control. Both Sony Tablet devices are compatible with the Media Remote™ app which allows you to control Sony devices, including BRAVIA televisions, through Wi-Fi® technology.

Wide Range of Applications

A variety of applications add to the entertainment options. With access to the Android Market™, you can browse thousands of useful time-saving and fun apps.

Help Me, LAPTOP: How Do I Move Windows 7 to My New SSD?

Some say the best thing you can do for yourself is get a massage or start an exercise program or go on a (gasp) diet, but if you really wanna improve your life, get an SSD. Reader Osama plans to buy a new Corsair SSD at the same time he purchases an HP dm1z laptop, but he’s wondering how he’ll move the Windows 7 OS and programs from the old drive to the new. He writes:

A few months ago, I read an article in LaptopMag which suggested installing an SSD to improve a PC’s performance, among a list of other changes and upgrades. I have done a fair bit of research, and wish to install an SSD in the next laptop I purchase, in order to get a faster boot time and slightly better battery life.

I am about to purchase an HP dm1z (Specs: AMD E-350 Processor, 4GB RAM, 750GB 5400rpm HDD). I want to change the HDD with a Corsair 120GB SATA Solid State Drive. The HP will ship with Windows 7 installed on the 750GB hard drive (along with the other usual ‘bloatware’), and I intend to swap the HDD with the SSD before any installing any additional software. The HDD will later be formatted for use as a data storage drive.

My problem (or question) is: How can I smoothly transfer the Windows 7 on the 750GB HDD to the 120GB SDD, without causing any major problems for any of the related hardware? Bearing in mind that the HP dm1z does not have a DVD drive and I do not plan on buying an external DVD drive.

Most of the articles and/or forum posts I’ve read so far recommend a clean install of Windows 7 on the SSD. How can that be accomplished legally, without purchasing another copy of Windows 7?

Another circulating opinion suggests shrinking of the partition containing Windows 7 and using Acronis to clone that partition on the SSD. How will it be possible to go about this approach, and how feasible will it be?

The answer to Osama’s problem is really simple; he just needs the right disk imaging program and a wire to connect the SSD to the notebook while he performs the cloning. There’s no need to reinstall Windows or any other program on the SSD as the software will copy every piece of data bit by bit to the new drive.

Before you begin, purchase an external enclosure that will let you connect your SSD to the notebook’s USB port and use it as an external drive during the copy process. You can get a SATA to USB hard enclosure like this Vantec NexStar for under $10 on sites such as NewEgg. You’ll also need to download and install cloning software on the notebook. We recommend Acronis Migrate Easy, which costs $39.99, but has a free trial version that may run long enough to do the copy for you.

We have a full tutorial with pictures and video that explains how to do the drive cloning and SSD install. Follow those instructions and you should be good to go.

Microsoft Plugs IE Hole Exposed in Contest - akkuschnell.de

Microsoft last week patched the last vulnerability in Internet Explorer (IE) used by a researcher in March to win $15,000 at the

The company had patched IE twice before to quash bugs exploited by Stephen Fewer of Harmony Security to bring down IE8 on Windows 7 at Pwn2Own. For his efforts, Fewer was awarded a cash prize of $15,000 and a Sony notebook.


 

Fewer chained three exploits , each for a different vulnerability, to bypass IE's sandbox, called "Protected Mode," and compromise IE8. Pwn2Own sponsor HP TippingPoint called the feat "impressive" at the time.

Microsoft patched the third IE bug in a multiple-flaw update to its browser, part of a 13-bulletin collection .
Although Microsoft credited Fewer in the MS11-057 bulletin for reporting the third vulnerability, it said the bug wasn't a security flaw. "Yes, this update addresses a Protected Mode bypass issue, publicly referenced as CVE-2011-1347," Microsoft said in response to an FAQ query, "Does this update contain any non-security related changes to functionality?"

At Pwn2Own, Fewer used the bypass bug to escape Protected Mode so he could circumvent the browser's sandbox, which allowed him to add a file to the machine, a task that mimicked a hacker's insertion of malware.

Fewer confirmed that last week's IE update fixed the final flaw he used at Pwn2Own.

"Yes MS11-057 patches the final bug, the protected mode bypass, that I used in my Pwn2Own exploit, the other two being a use-after-free which was patched in MS11-018 and an information leak patched in MS11-050," Fewer said today in an email reply to questions.

Earlier Flaws Addressed

MS11-018 and MS11-050 were the designations of the April and June bulletins, respectively, that patched the two other vulnerabilities he reported to Microsoft via TippingPoint's bug bounty program.

According to Aaron Portnoy, manager of TippingPoint security research team and the company's Pwn2Own organizer, Tuesday's IE update wraps up patching for the 2011 contest.

During Pwn2Own, Microsoft said that IE9, the browser that launched shortly after Fewer's hack, did not contain the bugs he exploited.

Including Tuesday's update, IE9 has been patched twice since its March launch. Of the August bugs Microsoft acknowledged as security issues, one was reported by Fewer.

"Yes, I have been doing some research into IE9 and actually my first IE9 vulnerability was also patched this Tuesday as part of MS11-057," Fewer said, referring to a separate bug he was credited with this week.
That flaw, dubbed "CVE-2011-1964," was reported via TippingPoint to Microsoft in May, and was ranked critical for IE9 when run on Vista or Windows 7.

Fewer wouldn't commit to taking on IE9 at next year's Pwn2Own, but he left the door open to a repeat performance. "I don't have any plans as of yet for next year's competition, but if I have a few new bugs handy closer to the time, who knows?"

August's security updates, including MS11-057 for IE, can be downloaded and installed via the Microsoft Update and Windows Update services, as well as through Windows Server Update Services.

How to Choose the Right Mobile Browser for Your Android Phone?

Choosing a mobile browser is a lot like choosing a browser for your desktop. Do you want something light and speedy? Or is the ability to customize your online experience with add-ons and themes more important to you? Here's a look at some of the most popular Android browsers, to help you decide which browser is right for you.

Dolphin Browser HD

Dolphin Browser HD presents simplified versions of Web pages.If you're an RSS fiend, the Dolphin Browser HD may soon become your new best friend. Dolphin lets you create a webzine from the RSS feeds of popular websites. The webzine format presents simplified versions of Web pages, with much of the clutter removed to make them easier to read. Though Dolphin can't transform every website into a webzine, it's a handy tool for staying up-to-date on current events in any case. If a Web page can be turned into a webzine, the word 'Webzine' will be next to the URL in the address bar; tap Webzine to see the page in webzine format.

Aside from its webzine functionality, the Dolphin Browser HD supports gesture commands and tabbed browsing. With gesture commands, you can draw shapes on the touchscreen to issue specific instructions to your mobile device. You can draw a circle to reload the page, for example, or you can draw an F to instruct the browser to load Facebook. The Dolphin Browser HD loads Web pages fairly quickly, and it supports a few add-ons such as Read It Later and AdBlocker.

Firefox for Android

The Firefox for Android browser works with a multitude of add-ons.Love add-ons but don't feel satisfied by Dolphin HD's offerings? Then consider Firefox for Android, a portable version of the beloved desktop Firefox browser. Like its desktop counterpart, Firefox for Android is all about the add-ons.

Tons of add-ons are available for Firefox for Android, including URL Fixer, which corrects common typos in URLs, and Reading List, which lets you save Web pages for offline reading. You can even give your browser a custom skin after downloading the Personas add-on. Firefox for Android is great for users who want to tweak and tune their browsers, and add their own personal touches. Unfortunately, the app can be a bit slow to start up; and if you have an older or underpowered Android phone, you might want to steer clear of it because it uses a lot of RAM. Firefox for Android also supports tabbed browsing, and you can sync between it and Firefox on your desktop to pick up on one device right where you left off on the other.

Opera Mobile and Opera Mini

Speed is the strong point of Opera's two mobile browsers.Opera has two mobile browsers: the full-size (12MB) Opera Mobile, and the smaller (767KB) Opera Mini. Opera Mini sends your page requests to a server, which compresses them before sending them to your device. This arrangement makes browsing with Opera Mini much faster than browsing with Opera Mobile. On the other hand, Opera Mobile does a better job than Opera Mini of rendering pages to look the way they would on your desktop.

Opera Mini can load image and Flash-heavy sites in seconds, and it supports tabbed browsing so you can open multiple websites at once. The Opera Mobile browser is quite fast, too, and it offers the same features as the Mini. Unlike Firefox and Dolphin, however, the Opera browsers don't support add-ons. Instead, Opera loads its browsers with its own Android app store--accessible through the start page--so you can download Android apps like Angry Birds and sideload them onto your device. Because Opera's apps are curated, there are a lot fewer junk apps to contend with; but if you don't have a device that can sideload apps, the store will be useless to you. Both apps also have a synchronization feature for syncing your mobile bookmarks with the desktop version of Opera.

Stock Browser

The stock Android browser handles online searches, integrates with other preloaded apps, and works right out of the box.It's hard to beat the stock Android browser. With pinch-to-zoom, Flash capabilities, and a decent downloads manager, the Stock browser can handle just about anything you throw at it. It may not have the speed of Opera Mini or the customizability of Firefox and Dolphin, but it is handy for quickly searching online, and it integrates well with other preinstalled apps. You can share pages via email, Facebook, Twitter, or even text message. Unfortunately the stock browser gets updated only when Google updates the operating system--so if something isn't working, the patch may take a while to arrive. Regardless, the stock Android browser is great for people who want something that works right out of the box.

So Which Browser Is Right for You?

Choosing the right browser depends on what you value most while surfing the Net. If you want Web pages to load quickly and you don't care about add-ons, grab the Opera Mini browser. If you like to tweak settings and customize your browser, Firefox mobile will satisfy your need for browser control. News addicts will love Dolphin's webzine capabilities for easy reading on the go. If you don't want any fancy extras and just want to get online through your phone, the stock Android browser should meet with your approval.

Though we looked at only the most popular browsers in the Android Market, plenty of others exist as well. With a little digging, you can probably find a mobile browser that does exactly what you need. If you have a favorite browser that you use on your mobile device, tell us about it in the comments below!
