        When it comes down to it, the Z4 tablet is an awesome tablet that beats everything out there, but it's just too expensive for what people are willing to pay.

        If people want to have the latest and most high tech device, they'll get the latest smartphone and get it subsidize with their contract... because people Don't Want to pay Full Price or close too.

        Granted, this is a 10" screen as opposed to a small 5" screen for MUCH less than what you'd pay your smartphone. So it really depends on your needs.

          I see Sony has already decided to exit the tablet space.
          Oh well.

            Dorsefrith, 03 Mar 2015Bravo Sony! After 1,5 year you finally made a Screen close... moreGod no, no oled screens on sony...
            those screens render tabs to crap by 2-3 years time due to pixel burn out

              Bernie, 03 Mar 2015Well I can surely get an iPad lower from this price point w... moreIOS is less stable os than Android....
              Guess you dont read the news...

              This tab is a feature fest compared to ipad...

              But I guess an apple user wouldnt know what the hell Im talking about, as he doesnt follow any tech other than apple...

                    CA, 03 Mar 2015Please... NO Low Users Here! That's like saying Apple ... moreWell I can surely get an iPad lower from this price point with a more stable OS and better aftersales support. The Android ecosystem is too much crowded and creating a tablet that doesn't have breakthrough features other than its being submersible in water did not seem to sound sensible. Attaching a steep price for submersibility did not seem to help Sony. Their current financial status is a testament to that. I'm just helping Sony to recuperate from their financial woes because of their stubbornness to listen to feedback.

                      i still don`t understand what are these stories about tablets here on GSM ARENA ...couldn`t you create another site called TABLETS ARENA or something ?

                        Arcane, 03 Mar 2015Last thing. The Microsoft Surface is not seen as a tablet (... moreAha, there we go now, it is not a tablet...
                        It is a laptop with touchscreen and attachable keyboard

                        Still my claim stands, if you write software on a PC level, android can take it the same as an equal price and tech laptop can...
                        Emphasis on equal...

                        Well, that resolves the discussion then

                        Wonder how much will surface pro cost...

                          Arcane, 03 Mar 2015Try to install Photoshop or Office with all of his gimmicks... moreMouse works petfectly on android,
                          Printer support there check, even wireless and nfc printing, check.
                          Office I am using, perfectly capable for everyday use, just as WP mobile version is
                          Photoshop, you have tons of apps that do quite good and intuitive photo editing job on android

                          If you talking about functionality of these bussiness programs, then you are somewhat lost, android can do it all if you make a full grown program/app for it, it is more than capable for any task...

                          Furthermore if you have such programs, mouse and keyboard are a neccessity, which renders an idea of a tablet useless...

                          Games?,what games will surface be able to run is to be seen, but it is not a desktop PC, have that in mind
                          And WP is an underdog for gaming in mobile world...

                          Sony runs ps4 games, heard microsoft will implement the same on surface for xbox, so it is catching up yes

                          So again...

                            darkraver, 03 Mar 2015That is windows software dependancy... Not surface capabil... moreLast thing. The Microsoft Surface is not seen as a tablet (because of the OS, the i7, the 8GB RAM or the 512GB flash memeory). It is more seen as a direct competitor to Apples MB Air because it's more an Ultrabook than a tablet.
                            And if you really compare an Android tablet with an Ultrabook and say that you can't do more on it, I doubt that you ever used a real OS like Windows or OSX in your life

Their is NO difference between Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit on a PC, a notebook or the Surface. It's COMPLETELY the same, because it's NO RT version.

                                  Not surface capability...

                                  But win office works perfectly well on android, as do any buisseness programs/apps written for it, like autocad or other....

                                  Furthermore microsoft will have to refurbish all of their program support to touch driven OS capabilities for surface, so you will loose some functionality....
                                  Surface is not a laptop, remember, it is a tablet....

                                  On security you are right,
                                  but then again I know tons of friends which got official android smartphones from their companies for daily work use, so, think it is an overexaggerated issue
                                  But still, software, not functionality...

                                  Security is what you make of it, and android offers all, antivirus, antimallware, antispam, firewall, multiple user support...

                                    But let me start:

                                    Surface 3 Pro over Android:
                                    - Intel core i7 CPU
                                    - 8GB RAM
                                    - 512 GB flash memory
                                    - USB 3.0
                                    - microSD Cardreader (up to 64 GB - so you can have 576GB of memory)
                                    - Type Cover
                                    - Windows 8.1 Pro 64 Bit

                                    Do I really have to tell you the difference between Android and Windows 8.1 Pro? Do you really think you can do all the stuff with your android tablet you can do on a Windows PC?You can play fucking Crysis on that tablet if you want! :D

                                      darkraver, 03 Mar 2015I will add that surface has no nfc, miracast, radio or gps,... moreIts just wrong to compare windows and android. For personal entertainment use either can fulfill the requirements. But say you need a digitizer. Or you need it for office where many workplaces do not have android support for all there software or it simply doesn't meet their security requirements. Ex. In my school we needed a windows machine. IPad or android simply won't do. However any and all systems running windows are fine

                                        Arcane, 03 Mar 2015Did you really compare an android tablet with a full workin... moreI will add that surface has no nfc, miracast, radio or gps, is expandible only to 64 gb sd cards,
                                        Should I go on?
