Sony Tablet P gets a price tag, finally!

Sony had announced two Honeycomb running tablets, earlier on this year, the Sony Tablet S and the Sony Tablet P. These were the first tablets to be announced by the Japanese consumer products manufacturer. The Sony Tablet S was recently launched in India at a price of Rs.29,990, and many people expect this Sony slate to fare well in the market. Though Sony announced two tablets, the price of the only the Tablet S was revealed and until now, there has been no word on the pricing of the Tablet P, be it locally or internationally. Sony has now updated their UK site revealed the pricing of the uniquely shaped Tablet P.
