Sony Xperia Tablet S Sales Temporarily Stopped [Due to Water Resistance Defect]

Sony Xperia Tablet has one very cool feature that should really be standard on devices nowadays – It’s Water Resistant. Unfortunately though inspite of taking all measures, such as a port flap on the side to make sure it was splash-proof, apparently their production line was a little faulty.

According to Reuters, a couple Xperia Tablet S units have a gap between the screen and the chassis, which is a problem for the whole ‘water resistant’ shindig. As a result, Sony has halted sales of the Xperia tablet S so that they can fix the issue first. Incase you havent heard of the Sony Xperia Tablet S, it was announced last month at IFA 2012 in Berlin. Here’s a quick hands-on:

Sony stated that they will also repair any of the 100,000 tablets that have already been shipped, so if you happen to have one of these, get in touch with them asap, eh?

Sony Xperia T supports HD Voice

HD Voice is something very few manufacturers have supported unfortunately, even though the technology isnt very new. The better voice standard means higher quality voice calls, so that on a call users can hear each other much better. Thankfully, Sony’s the latest manufacturer to jump on that bandwagon, revealing that the Xperia T supports HD Voice, stating that it makes “you feel closer to the person you are talking to.” Awww.

Ofcourse it’s also down to the carrier to support the voice standard, and folks on the other end of the call also need an HD voice capable device. Hopefully this will become mainstream enough soon. More details over at the Sony blog post at the link below.
