IFA 2011: Sony Launches Two Tablets, Sony S and Sony P – Both tablets are running Android, are named Sony S and Sony P and have been presented during the IFA fair in Berlin. If Sony S respects the “standard” model used in terms of tablet design, Sony P will be quite a special tablet, having two folding screens. The tablet allows using both in the same time or only one. Sony didn’t specify the technical specifications of the two-screen tablet, and gave few details about the Sony Tablet S, which features a 9.4-inch screen. Both, however, have the Sony TruBlack and Bravia technologies and has storage capacities of 16 and 32 GB, respectively.

Apple To Launch a TV in 2012 – Rumors that Apple will attack the TV market, in the presumed direct competition with Google, catches more and more contour. Unlike Google, Apple will not only come with streaming service or rental shows, but it will produce one single kit that will include a TV, which will run, according to rumors, the iOS. Considering the forecasts of other analysts who were saying, after the resignation of Steve Jobs, Tim Cook, the new CEO of Apple, will have to face an immediate challenge (the imposition on the digital video segment), the launch of Apple TV might not be possible.

Facebook Starts to Sing – Facebook will launch next month a music platform through an association with the online services Edio, MOG and Spotify. Thus, the users will be able to listen music while they are logged in on Facebook. The official announcement of the new music platform will be made on September 22, at the annual conference that brings together the company’s developers. Unlike Apple, Google and Amazon, which have already launched such services, Facebook will not host directly and will not allow the streaming through that platform, but will base its service on the partners that will provide the content.
