Sony S1: Leak reveals September preorder date

Sony’s kept us guessing with dates for the Sony S1 tablet, but with several teaser videos doing the rounds (we’ve embedded one below) we’re intrigued as to how Sony’s curiously shaped tablet will handle itself in a market where they’re a late entrant- and facing the dominant iPad.
