German site MobiFlip has uncovered what appears to be a Sony presentation document, with images and specs for an unannounced tablet that will apparently have Xperia branding when it is officially revealed in the future. MobiFlip believes that the tablet will feature a 9.4-inch display with a 1280×800-pixel resolution, similar to the original Tablet S, and will have an Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor. The leaked document points to the tablet being constructed from aluminium, and being “splash-proof”. It will have the same rolled-edge design that we saw on the Tablet S, but this edge will now be much slimmer.
Like its first tablet forays, Sony seems to be attempting to find a unique angle for this latest slate. It will feature an IR blaster, so that it can double as a universal remote in your living room, and it will feature small apps that will only take up a portion of the screen, so that the user can perform two tasks simultaneously.
The keyboard case we mentioned earlier is part of a range of accessories listed in the document, alongside an HDMI adapter and a USB host port.
