Sony Joins Tablet Wars with Android

Sony has announced plans to create two new tablets running the latest Android operating system. The tablets are designed to be entertainment devices using ‘premium network services’ from Sony.

The two tablets codenamed S1 will have a single 9.4-inch display while the S2 will have two 5.5-inch displays which can be used for different functions, eg. email in the top screen and a soft keyboard on the bottom. The tablets are expected to hit shelves during Fall 2011.

It is likely the new tablets will integrate with other Sony network services such as “Qriocity” a network platform, PlayStation Network (PSN) and controlling BRAVIA televisions using the tablet.
