Sony Tablet S Cradle

A GREAT PLACE TO DOCK YOUR TABLET

Pros: Small, Light, Portable, Holds the table perfedtly, Place to attach charger.

I love this cradel! I have it sitting on my desktop as I keep my tablet in it all day. The tablet charger fits nicely in the back wich lets you keep your tablet charged and running all day. I have an extra cradle in the bedroom, so that I can dock my tablet next to me to use my tablet as an alarm clock. They style of the cradle is perfect! I love how it hold my tablet and the bluetooth keyboard looks great sitting in front of the cradle. The whole set up is a wow factor and everyone that passes by my desk at work has to check it out. A+++++ on the tablet, cradle, and bluetooth keyboard!

not what i expected

Pros: havent been able to use it yet

Cons: doesnt come with a power cord,

i had purchased this cradle with the assumption that it pluygged into the wall via a power cord but when i recieved it, all that came with it is the cradle piece. so all this piece does is hold your tablet upright. i was hoping for a replacement for the lousily designed charger that came with the device(and broke within the first two months of me having it. the cradle is designed to be used with the orignal power cord and now i still have a 2 pound paper weight that i cannot use until i come up with another 40 bucks to buy a ac charger . thank you sony for the ridiculous charger design

good deal overall

Pros: nice charger

Cons: can't operate all functions while in dock

This cradle is ideal for charging. I hated the flimsy power cord plugged into the bottom of the tablet. Now the flimsy cord is plugged in under the cradle base. This will create longer life with the cord (I Hope!!!). The tablet allows you to do most everything while docked on the cradle but attempting to play a touchscreen game while docked may slightly jar it off the power and end your game. Good for the price.

Must have accessory

Pros: Well designed, easy to use

This absolutely adds to the Sony S experience and was very well-designed. It's included now with Sony S tablet purchases, so free at the moment with purchase of a new tablet. You just drop the tablet into the cradle and it charges. Tight fit. But then with the software it becomes a digital photo frame or with Cassandra software as a basic Chumby. So charges and a great display device. Just well designed and a huge beni for the Sony tablet S

Must have

Pros: Looks great while charging, very convenient, additional operating modes while in cradle

Cons: price

After a week or so plugging in and out the unusual charger Sony gives you there had to be something easier. I didn't want to drop the money for something that appeared quite vague with little information about the product until MobileTechReview did an overview of the cradle (watch it for more info on the picture frame app and clock modes). Got it right away after that. You plug your existing charger into the back of the cradle and now you can just slip the tablet in and out. No clicking/locking, you just set it in and the weight of the tablet keeps the power contacts touching. It really is a great item. Looks good in the living room in either of the various display modes you get to select while in the cradle and I know the tablet is charged when I need it. Price is a bit steep but it is so convenient I have to strongly recommend it. -1 star due to price. Note, your charger is now in a fixed spot. Of course you can move the cradle and charger around but realistically that will get old. We actually share the cradle between two tablets right now so we have a spare charger floating around and the other with the cradle. We just pop in the different tablet to the cradle for charging since it is much easier. We'll see if we want another one if we find we keep pushing the other's tablet out before fully charged.
