The unique Sony dual-screen Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) tablet first unveiled in late April has made a visit to the FCC for wireless certification. The device will carry the model number SGPT211JP/S (for Japan) and will support the 850MHz and 1900MHz bands in North America, indicating a likely launch on AT&T’s network in the US. An additional discovery shows that it is using the Ericsson F5521g cellular chipset that is capable of supporting HSPA+ at speeds up to 21Mbps. The S2 will also support 2.4GHz Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth.
The S2 is an unusual clamshell tablet design that centers on two 5.5-inch displays with a resolution of 1024x480. It is designed to allow users to watch a movie while surfing a website, or play a game on the top screen while using virtual controls on the bottom screen. It also PlayStation certified and is powered by NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 SOC.
The Sony S2 is expected to launch this fall, or sooner in the US.
