Sony Tablet S — Buying the Sony Tablet S

I have long wanted to make the switch from Apple to Android but I have always felt like the skins such as HTC Sense and Touchwiz were invasive, especially what Samsung has done to Honeycomb on the Tab.

Basically I think that with the S1 what Sony seems to have done is kept the stock Android on the device but added to it, not removed from it, so that it feels like stock Android but with a few new features that increase functionality.

Can anyone confirm that all the stock apps have stayed the same?
