Sonys First Waterproof Tablet Revealed

There are very many tablets available on the market which come in many sizes but have you heard of a tablet which is also waterproof?

Sony has come up with the idea of creating a tablet, similar to others, but with the functionality of being able to be dropped into 3 feet of water and still be able to work, the 10.1 inch Xperia Tablet Z. As well as being waterproof, this tablet is currently the thinnest on the market compared to the Apple tablets and Google’s Nexus 10.

Many changes have been made to this tablet by Sony on the overall presentation of the tablet but the general functions remain the same, therefore this is beneficial to current Android users as they will already be familiar to the software used.

The Xperia Tablet Z has been designed with rubber seals which are used to cover the tablets ports which will allow the device to be placed in water without the substance seeping in. This idea is beneficial for many tablet users as if something is spilt on the tablet, it can be run under water without many damage being caused. The design of this device also means that users are able to watch films or read information in the bath without the fear of dropping it.

I, myself, am an Android user and feel that this is a great achievement for Sony to be able to put together such a thin device but also include the waterproof functionality in order to attract more consumer awareness.
