Thin, light, powerful and waterproof - Sony sets the bar high for tablets

While all eyes may have been on the phone last week, Sony's Z2 tablet was certainly worth paying attention to. It's thin and light – beating other 10 inch tablets already on the market – but the hardware still packs a punch. It's powered by a quad core processor, with a decent 8 megapixel camera, rear camera and 2 megapixel front facing camera. Plus it's waterproof and dust resistant, so you can take it most places without fear of destroying it. Sony has also brought some of its TV and audio technology to the tablet, making it a good all-rounder for multimedia.
