Sony's ultra-thin, dustproof, and water-resistant Xperia Tablet Z is now up for the pre-order with shipments scheduled for May 24th, CNET reports. Featuring a super slim, 0.27 inch profile, Sony boasts that the Xperia Tablet Z is the thinnest 10.1-inch tablet on the market, and is even thinner than Apple's iPad mini.
The Xperia Tablet Z is equipped with a 1920 x 1200 resolution display, a 1.5GHz quad-core APQ8064 processor, 2GB of RAM, and NFC capabilities. While the act of taking photos using a tablet may be questionable, Sony has loaded the device with an 8.1-megapixel Exmor R rear camera to accompany the 2-megapixel shooter up front. The tablet will ship with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and, like other Xperia devices, is PlayStation Certified.
The 16GB Xperia Tablet Z will be available in black for $499.99, and those looking for more on-board storage can pick up the 32GB version in either black or white for $599.99. Sony will also throw in a free charging cradle with pre-orders.
