PlayStation Tablet Coming – Report
Posted in: playstation, sony, tablets, Today's Chili, video games
Now that we’ve seen the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play (the PlayStation Phone) and the Sony NGP (PSP 2, more or less), what’s next in the PlayStation form factor takeover? If you said “tablet,” you may well be right. Heck, everyone is getting in the post-iPad consumer tablet game. Everyone but Sony, that is.
As all of chief competitors announce their stabs at the iPad throne, the consumer electronics giant has been largely silent. Executives at the company have noted the existence of plans, back at CES, but beyond that, not much.
Word is that Sony’s working on something at the moment conamed the S1, a Google Honeycomb tablet, designed by folks on the PlayStation, VAIO, Reader, and Sony Ericsson sides of the business. The tablet will apparently be built around Sony’s Qriocity multimedia store and will come loaded with a number of PlayStation One games. Also including in the package: a Bravia Media Remote and some manner of PlayStation integration.
The tablet is said to sport that weird design above, apparently meant to replicate a folded paperback. Remember those? The screen is said to be 9.4 inches, with a 1,280 x 800 resolution. There’ll be front and rear facing cameras and a USB report. The only physical button on the thing is an on/off switch. The thing is also apparently packing a Tegra 2 processor inside.
According to the leak, the S1 will ship in September for $599 for the Wi-Fi version.
