When tablets were clamshells: Sony Tablet P throwback review (Video)
Say the word “tablet” today and you probably picture something like this. Even back in 2011 –the origin year for today’s deep dive into nostalgia– the word conjured up a big slab, not an oversized eyeglass case. But the latter is just what we got with the Sony Tablet P, a bizarre foldable mobile device that better resembled a palmtop computer than any “tablet” I’d ever seen.
It was weird – but that’s just why I liked it. The Sony Tablet P was the first review device I ever requested (and the first of many I never received). Three years later, thanks to eBay, I finally got the chance to go hands-on with the strange amalgam of pocket netbook and jumbo clamshell. And, well … it sure is something.
