According to sources in the Taiwanese supply chain,
Sony is preparing to enter the ultra-size tablet market,
as are a selection of other unspecified mobile vendors.
Sony is apparently set to launch a 12-inch tablet in the
first quarter of 2015.
Being such a large size, it’s likely that Sony will pack
the huge tablet with a high resolution display and will
have to accompany that with a beefy processor and
other high-end specifications. This will be the case
according to the sources, and Sony will be targeting
the 12-inch tablet at markets with a high demand for
graphics-related applications.
However, this tablet isn’t expected to experience very
high demand, as only a limited supply is apparently
heading through the supply chain. Instead, Sony could
be testing consumer appetites for larger tablets with a
smaller roll-out before deciding if it’s a market
segment it would like to commit to in the long term.
Sony’s 12-inch tablet will likely be targeted at laptop
users looking for something a little more portable.
Think Microsoft’s 12-inch Surface Pro 3 or Samsung’s
12.2 inch Galaxy Note PRO. It will be interesting to see
how successful Sony’s tablet turns out to be.
