The other day we reported that the Sony Xperia Tablet Z was up for pre-order and is expected to make its way into the hands of customers come April. Unfortunately it seems that Sony UK might not be able to make that April release date after all. According to the Sony UK website, placing a pre-order for the Xperia Tablet Z no longer shows an April shipping date. Instead it has been changed to May, meaning that customers will probably have to wait a couple of weeks more before they are able to enjoy the device. It seems that this delay has extended beyond Sony’s online shop to third party retailers who are reporting the same thing. We’re not sure if this affects those who placed their pre-order and received the mid-April date, or if this affects all customers who have placed their order. No reason why the change in date, but then again it’s only appears to be a couple of extra weeks and doesn’t seem like too big of a delay, so we guess customers will have no choice but to play the waiting game. It is important to note that Sony US officially announced Spring 2013 as the Sony Xperia Tablet Z’s official market release date. and that no specific month was displayed on the US Sony store as an official shipping date.
