Absolutely gorgeous design, undoubtedly the best looking Tablet ever made
But to be frank even this sexy beast can't change my opinion on tablets. Tablet's just make no sense to me

I was of the same opinion, until I played with my sister's tablet over Christmas.
Although, I'm not sure whether a phablet could do the same job as a phone / tablet. What do you think? Would a 6" Phablet be a decent compromise to owning both a phone and a tablet?

Yep, a 6" phablet is a decent compromise. But phone+tablet would be better.
I too see no sense in tablets or see how one could benefit me in any way.

All we need now is confirmation on global release and a price announcement. A 450 euro price tag would be great.

I think streaming HD content is always better on a bigger screen. If you have a TV app and and unlimited data tariff then that's always a plus. I think I'd prefer the phone / tablet combination too though.
I'm expecting a 420EUR price tag, which is expensive, when you consider the price of mid range laptops.

I certainly love the design of this tablet, but it's not going to replace my nexus 7.

I'm really really hoping for a quick international release on this. I simply can't wait any longer for my first tablet. There isn't even confirmation that there will be an international release at all.
Posted by goldenface
I seriously hope there is, this would be my first tablet too.

That's an amazing looking tablet
. Replacement for my OG Tablet S, if there will be an international release of course, but even then probably at the earliest after some months, because the Xperia Z has the highest priority

It's definitely a looker. It needs a good keyboard accessory too, the screen is a good size.

And Sony added a feature I've been wanting in a tablet ever since... PHONE CHARGING!
Supposedly, the Tablet Z can charge the Xperia Z when plugged via a special micro USB cable (I'm guessing it's special because power will flow only to the phone and not from it). Currently unknown whether the feature will be enabled for all Xperia phones, or just the Z and newer.

It's a nice idea but the battery isn't the biggest. Not sure if it will be useful at the end of the day...
