Tom T said:They are both solid tablets but only one meets my litmus test, which is simply does it have gorilla glass. The Samsung does, the Sony does not. This might not be a deal breaker for some but I tend to be unintentionally hard on, and overly concerned about, my devices and for whatever reason a scratch on my screen is devistating to me....I probably should seek professional help.
Thank you for all your help!!
In the end i ordered the Samsung 8.9 tab from the curry's website for £249. Bargain!!
Eddyad37 said:I'm deciding on my first tablet and can't decide between Galaxy 8.9 and Sony S. Basically I think I'd prefer the Galaxy but the Sony connectivity (SD card, USB) make it attractive, especially as I don't want to go above 16GB. I wonder how much space is free for photos etc? It seems that there is no way to connect a USB stick directly to the Galaxy - you have to use a PC.
Also, knowing that Sony can "tailor" its products, are there any Android app restrictions on the Sony? I don't want to be stuck with a Sony apps library only.
Comments and advice much appreciated.
Thanks
P.S. Comet have a Sony S 32GB £10 cheaper than a 16GB Galaxy - should that influence me?
