Sony Forced To Halt Sales Of The Xperia Tablet S Due To A Manufacturing Flaw, Turns Out It Isn't 'Splash-Proof' After All

Posted by in News, Xperia Tablet S

Just a month after releasing its new 'durable and splash-proof' Xperia Tablet S, Sony has found that some units have gaps between the screen and the aluminum case, making them particularly vulnerable to water damage.

The issue has been caused by a manufacturing flaw at the Chinese plant where the tablet is produced, and as a result, Sony has chosen to temporarily stop selling the device until the problem can be resolved.

Although the Japanese company is trailing behind competitors, such as Samsung, in the tablet market, 100,000 units of the Xperia Tablet S have already been sold across Japan, Europe, and the United States.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 TouchWiz UX Update Halted "To Assess Progress And Ensure It's A Positive Experience"

Posted by in Galaxy Tab 10.1, News

So, here's a new one: Samsung has apparently halted the TouchWiz UX update for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in order to "assess progress and ensure it's a positive experience for customers." We're not entirely sure what that means on a realistic level, but I'll go out on a limb and assume they found some sort of bug -- possibly one that is making some Tabs unusable by scrambling the graphics.

Naturally, since no real reason was given, we pinged once again to see if we could get more info -- like before, no details.

At this point, we can only speculate what the issue could be -- but if you're a Tab 10.1 owner that has yet to get the TouchWiz UX update, now you know why.
