Sony has announced its 9.4-inch Tablet S is getting a $100 price cut; now the 16GB model of the Sony Tablet S has been lowered to a price of $400 from the previous $500 while the 32GB model has been reduced to $500 from the previous $600. However, the company has not yet announced any price cut in the Indian market, but now it is highly expected that the Tablet S will get a price cut in India also.

To remind you, the Android-powered Sony Tablet S offers a 9.4-inch touchscreen display, an Nvidia Tegra 2 mobile processor, a five-megapixel rear camera and infrared technology, which allows the tablet to act as a remote control for multiple home entertainment components such as TVs, Blu-ray Disc players, cable and satellite boxes, and is compatible with the Media Remote app which allows you to control Sony devices, including Bravia televisions, through Wi-Fi technology. The Tablet S is Sony’s direct iPad competitor, which features a slightly curved design that resembles a rolled back magazine, and supposedly makes it easier to hold with one hand.

Meanwhile, Sony confirmed last month that it planned an Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade for both the Tablet S and the folding Tablet P, though declined to specify a timeline for when the updates could be expected.
