Sony to stop Xperia Tablet S sales after production trouble

The 9.4-inch tablet was going to be Sony's comeback in the tablet market. The sales of the previous Sony Tablet S and Sony Tablet P was not very successful. Xperia Tablet S with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and a 1.3 GHz Tegra processor was going to change this. But after selling 100.000 units of the new Xperia Tablet, Sony has decided to halt the sales of the device. The cause of the problem is said to be a manufacturing flaw at the Chinese production plant.
