Sony has unveiled the thinnest tablet in the world.
The new Xperia Tablet Z is a full-sized 10.1-inch tablet that is just 6.9mm thick, even thinner than the iPad Mini.
Under the hood, the tablet runs on Android 4.1, features a 1920x1200 resolution, a quad-core 1.5GHz processor, LTE, NFC and an 8MP "backside-illuminated sensor" camera. It is all powered by a large 6000mAh battery.
Sony also says the device is waterproof and dustproof, but there is little other details on that front, so far.
Finally, the company is promoting a new feature it calls "S-Force Front Surround 3D," which supposedly helps convey a feeling of surround sound and spacial movement.
There was no word on pricing or an exact date for release, but unless Sony has changed their policy, this device will likely be $500 or higher.
