Sony has announced a new tablet, called the Tablet Z, following the recent announcement of its flagship XPeria Z smartphone.
Earlier this month, SmartCompany reported Sony unveiled its flagship XPeria Z smartphone at the CES in Las Vegas, which the company hopes will help it to compete against Apple’s iPhone 5 and Samsung’s Galaxy S3.

The company cites the tablet’s weight and thickness as being key selling points, with the device measuring in at 6.9 mm thickness, compared to 9.4 mm for the most recent Apple iPad, and a weight of just 495 grams, compared to 652 grams for the iPad.
