          Sony's first tablet, now officially called the Tablet S, is set to hit stores in the middle of September at a price of $499.99.

          The Tablet S will feature a 9.4-inch touchscreen, a unique wedge-like shape and run on Google's Android Honeycomb operating system -- which is also featured on competing Motorola Xoom and Samsung GalaxyTab 10.1 tablets.

          The $500 price matches that of the entry-level, wi-fi-only, 16-gigabyte Apple iPad. And for that price, Sony's Tablet S will come with an iPad-matching 16 gigabytes of storage and wi-fi-only connections to the Internet. A 32-gigabyte model is set to be released as well at a cost of $599.99.

          Both the 16-gigabyte and 32-gigabyte Tablet S units became available for pre-order on Wednesday with a listed release date of "on or about" Sept. 16.
