Playstation Sony Announces New Tablets

[Sultan]

During a media briefing in Japan today, Sony announced two new tablet computers, the S1 and S2, available globally this fall.

The S1 has a single 9.4-inch display while the S2 features two 5.5 inch screens in a clamshell design similar to the Nintendo 3DS. The dual screens can be used as one combined larger screen or separately to allow video to play on the top screen with input commands on the bottom, for example.

Both tablets are PlayStation Certified, allowing users to download and play PlayStation One titles through PlayStation Suite. They are also both equipped with Android 3.0, WiFi and 3G/4G.

Price details were not announced at this time. Hit up the gallery for sweet press shots.

I really don't know what the point is of releasing two tablets is (S2 looks really nice though - I wouldn't get it but heck, it's certainly different), but I suppose it was about time that Sony entered the tablet market. That just leaves Nokia tablet-less out of the main smartphone-making manufacturers. My only issue is though, Sony seems over-ambitious with these tablets. This is a late entry into a very saturated tablet market, so good luck to them.

Yeah they might be hella expensive but they look fly imo.
Also newest android OS is 2.2 and this is 3.0 awesome..

also both equipped with Android 3.0, WiFi and 3G/4G.
Imagine USB 3.0 with a 1TB HDD..

Makes me wonder how many HERZ or GHZ?

Although they are nice pieces of technology I do not think they are fully needed. They can play psone games...? Really? I got to see this when they release. S1 looks pretty much like a DS to me. I have no intention of getting any of these because I dont really need them.
