No charging over USB
Android isn't yet fully notebook ready
Lack of palmcheck on touch pad is annoying

And problems that arise when docking
Keyboard is a little slow when used in the web browser

Keyboard dock turns the tablet into a netbook, Bright, highresolution IPS capacitive screen, Long battery life, Price,
Android Honeycomb OS has fewer apps, Sometimes buggy when dock is attached/removed, Cluttered interface, Onscreen keyboard not as responsive, Choppy video recording
In the end, these are both top Android Honeycomb 3.2 tablets, and I'd be happy with either one. If you're looking for a multimedia and ebook reader tablet or want to play lots of accelerometer based games, the Sony is our pick. If you want a powerfully ex...
