Thanks to the guys from Droid Life, we now have 2 unofficial pictures of possibly the Xoom 2. We don't have much details from the 2 pictures except the fact the size is still 10.1".
Is this the reason why the price of the Xoom was dropped recently?
The new price of the Xoom is now RM1899 for 32GB 3G and RM1599 for 32GB WiFi. Previously during first launch, the price for 32GB 3G was RM2599 and 32GB WiFi was RM2099. Now that's a massive discount of RM700 in less than a year.
Lenovo is also stepping up the game in the tablet arena by launching the Lenovo IdeaPad Tablet K1.
Price is yet to be announced but should we should expect to have the first indication of the price tomorrow (16.08.11).

NVIDIA Tegra 2.0 T20 1.0GHz processor
Google Android 3.1 operating system
10.1” HD (1280x800) display
Up to 1GB DDR2 memory, up to 32GB SSD storage
Integrated Bluetooth, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi connectivity, 3G (for 3G-enabled model only)
Micro SD card reader, Mini HDMI connector
Integrated front (2M) & back (5M) mounted webcam

It was announced sometime back in April 2011 that Sony is also trying to fit into the tablet war with Apple, HTC, Samsung and the rest of the guys.
Current naming found all over the internet are Sony S1 and S2.
It is expected that the screen size for the S1 is 9.4"with a resolution of 1280x800. There is also a front facing camera right. The design looks a little awkward as it doesn't fulfill the usual tablet design.
Few buttons are shown on the side, ON, volume up/down and perhaps a slot for memory expansion. It is also spotted with a hard reset button which we don't see normally in the tablet nowadays. Sony expecting problems with the Android Honeycomb 3.2 software? Maybe..
At the rear is the usual rear camera.
The Sony S2 spots two 5.5" display in a curvy design at the back. It looks very much like the Nintendo DS.
Sony does have a sense when designing gadgets but the usual problem with Sony is with the price. Take a look at the Sony P series so called notebook. It's sleek and nice design but the price is too costly. Hope that would not happen in this tablet case. Otherwise, it'll not stand a chance with the iPad or the Samsung Tab.
