Starting March 4th, AT&T customers can pick up Sony's dual-screen Tablet P for $399 with a two year contract. As a 4G device, customers will have a choice of two monthly plans to choose from, starting at $35/mo for 3GB of data, up to $50/mo for 5GB.

If contracts freak you out, you can purchase a Tablet P off-contract for $549 and avail yourself to AT&T's pre-paid data plans.

Of course, if you blindly invest in either option before seeing what Apple has to show on March 7th, I think Sony executives should personally offer you a hug.

Still, the Sony Tablet P is a very intriguing device. We have to hand it to Sony for actually daring to innovate in a market clogged with cookie-cutter tablet clones. Look for our CNET review soon.
