The
Sony Xperia Tablet S was first launched in the US on September 7th, with subsequent releases in Europe, Japan and other locations. The water resistant tablet was then pulled last last month when a manufacturing fault was discovered, where water could enter the device through a gap between the display and the back of the unit.
Sales of the device were halted on the 100,000 units which had already been shipped and a free inspection was offered to everyone who had purchased the tablet. Any faulty units were either repaired or replaced.
