Looks like Sony is giving another cycle for S series life with S4 series. What is strange is usually they try to stay away from number 4 in their series, like there was TR3 and then TR5. Read the news release here.

maybe the S4 series are strictly european and will be named differently for asian markets, so there’s no need to skip the 4.

Well that would still be a departure from the normal.  The TR series never had a 4 in any market…

In many Asian languages the number four is considered unlucky .  Pronounced, it sounds similar to the word for “death”.  That is not to say it has anything to do with Sony’s naming scheme, but its an interesting coincidence.

how exactly is this different from the S3 series ? It probably is going to have the same chipset as it mentions the NVIDIA 6200 GO, and the SATA hd , etc.

probably a more efficient battery pack ( really needed ) ? or a even brighter screen ?  :shock:

bigger hd is obviously certain, along with more RAM ??
