Sony Xperia Tablet Z hits the FCC with LTE on its way to T-Mobile
We’ve seen Sony’s Xperia Tablet Z at the FCC before – a WiFi version of the device won approval back in March. Today the Xperia Tablet Z made another appearance on the FCC, this time with LTE.

T-Mobile hasn’t yet announced plans for the Tablet Z. The WiFi-only version of the Tablet Z is schedule for release in May.

Sony VAIO Windows 8 tablet arrives on the FCC sporting NFC
A new tablet from Sony made the rounds at the FCC today, winning approval for WiFi, Bluetooth and NFC wireless capabilities.

Sony’s FCC filings did not disclose the marketing name for the SVJ202A11L. Sony’s VAIO Duo Slider already won FCC approval, so it’s possible that the SVJ202A11L is the Sony VAIO Tap 20, which was unveiled last month.
