Sony’s S tablet is a multimedia powerhouse. Not only does it have a high resolution screen, it also has the ability to connect to your digital TV and home entertainment system like no other tablet. It’s the first Android device of its kind with a built in A/V remote control.

The same goes for other media such as photos and videos, you can throw them to Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) compatible TV sets by simply tapping a button.
With the Media Remote™ app your tablet can also perform as a wireless remote for various other Wi-Fi devices such as cable boxes, satellite boxes and Blu-ray Disc™ players.
