Sony brings Android Open Source Project to Xperia Tablet Z

AOSP is now available for the Xperia Tablet Z -- it'll live on GitHub, along with instructions and other resources. Community Manager Marcus Hansson dropped by YouTube to demo AOSP. You'll find that Jelly Bean (4.2.2) walkthrough posted after the break, along with a warning to non devs: "The software is not intended for everyday use, and therefore does not include all apps and services usually expected in ordinary software." That could always change in the future, but if you're expecting a seamless stock experience for personal use, you probably won't find it here.</div></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/16WZOqgFBI8?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></div>

Sony Xperia Tablet Z now up for pre-order, scheduled to ship May 24th

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Xperia Tablet Z" data-src-height="269" data-src-width="619" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/xperia-tablet-z-pre-order-04-29-13-01.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">If you've been waiting for the least burdensome tablet you could find, Sony's 17.5 ounce, 6.9mm thick Xperia Tablet Z is now up for pre-order in the US. On top of being the lightest, slimmest 10-inch slate on the market, it's not exactly slumming spec-wise either: there's a 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon processor, Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, 2GB RAM, an 8.1-megapixel Exmor R camera, NFC, LTE, S-Force virtual surround sound, 32GB storage and a 10.1-inch 1,920 x 1,200 display with Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2 tech. To round it off, the tab is dust- and water-resistant, and Sony's pre-loaded its TV SideView app, which uses the built-in IR to let you change your TV's channel and get scheduling, recommendations, voice search and IMDB-like info. The downside? We noted that the ambitiously thin design made the device a bit bendy and creaky. You can pre-order at the source ($500 for the 32GB model and $600 for 64GB), or check the video after the break to see how a three-legged dog might use the slate while taking a bath. No, you didn't just misread that</div></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/37VPef-lV74?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></div>

Sony Xperia Tablet Z passes through the FCC in WiFi trim

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="copy post-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <div class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Sony Xperia Tablet Z passes through the FCC in WiFi trim" data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/sony-xperia-tablet-z-fcc.jpg" /></div>Sure, we've seen Sony dissect the Xperia Tablet Z to show its inner workings, but that doesn't get the slate any closer to its spring launch. An FCC approval will, however. The tablet has swung through the US agency in its regular WiFi form, with photos and a user manual removing any doubts as to its nature. While there's no surprises here -- not unless you really, <em>really</em> wanted to know the exact location of the WiFi antenna -- the move should leave just a few formalities between Americans and Sony's extra-thin design.<br /> </div></div>

Sony ruthlessly guts an Xperia Tablet Z for your viewing pleasure (video)

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Sony ruthlessly tears apart an Xperia Tablet Z for your viewing pleasure (video)" data-src-height="310" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/xperiazteardown.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">It's not unusual to see products helplessly dismantled by the likes of <i>iFixit</i> and the FCC, but on rare occasions, companies sacrifice their own creations for our twisted enjoyment. This particular teardown is one of those instances, as Sony employed the skills of one "badass engineer" to reduce an Xperia Tablet Z to nothing but parts. There isn't much to learn from the accompanying gadget snuff movie aside from the cold speed at which said badass accomplishes the task -- inside the slate is a bundle of known components held together by a mixture of screws, tape and glue. The clip's narrator specifies the Tablet Z will be available sometime in May, but check out the video below if you'd like to get thoroughly acquainted beforehand. And don't worry about the poor unit's fate. Sony is just as adept at putting things back together.</div></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/zczfTnBFqtA?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></div>
