Following the success of its Xperia-brand, Sony is now rumored to bring a new tablet to follow-up the Tablet S. Dubbed the Sony Xperia Tablet, the device showed up last night on German blog Mobiflip.

While the folded-over-magazine look is intact, the Xperia Tablet measures about 40% thinner than its predecessor, while upping the ante in terms of hardware and software.

Expected to sporting a quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, the slate will be featuring a 9.4-inch (1280 x 800) display, dual 8MP/1MP shooters, a 6,000 mAh battery, DLNA support, and “ICS or later”. Other connectivity specs include 3G, Bluetooth 3.0 and WiFi. The tablet will be available in three versions, with 16, 32 and 64 GB of internal storage.

The device’s body is said to be aluminum and splashproof. It will also be PlayStation Certified.

While $449.99 could be the 16 GB model’s price tag, the 32 and 64 GB versions will add $100 and $200 to that pricing point respectively. Sony will also offer a keyboard case for $99.99. The keyboard case looks like a cross between a Smart Cover.

Sony is supposed to organize a special “unveiling event” in Berlin at the end of August, where we suspect a couple of new products to be revealed. Of course we also suspect Xperia J and Z too.
