Now that Sony has [spilled](http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/13/sonys-s2-tablet-coming-to-atandt-price-and-availability-remain-a/) the carrier-exclusive beans on at least one of its tablets, the [S2](http://www.engadget.com/tag/S2/) clamshell, the company kindly gave us a chance to get some long-awaited hands-on time with both it and its sibling, the [S1](http://www.engadget.com/tag/S1/) slate. And at time when it feels like we handle a new Honeycomb Android tablet every other day, these at least usher in some pretty unusual form factors. On the one hand, you've got the S1, a 9.4-inch number whose rounded wedge profile was designed to mimic a folded magazine. On the opposite end of the spectrum, there's the S2, which opens to reveal twin 5.5-inch displays -- all the more of a novelty since we've barely seen Android 3.0 running on devices that don't have 10-inch displays. Alas, we only had a few minutes to poke around, and in particular we would have loved to spend more time sinking our teeth into Sony's spin on Honeycomb. For now, though, enjoy those close-up shots below and head on past the break for some early impressions.
