Android Powered Sony Tablet Is Playstation Certified

AnalogHype writes "Sony seems to be making some major moves in the tablet world. On the heels of the release of the Xperia Play, the Android 3.0 Honeycomb powered Sony tablet will be Playstation Certified. The power of the Playstation Suite will be in your hands in due time ladies and gentlemen"

Hopefully they let you use your DualShock on them through the blue tooth for gaming.

[Joni-Ice]

Any pictures of it yet?

[hiredhelp]

hmm wonder if NGP also be getting this wouldnt supprise me.

[BeastlyRig]

This will be interesting!! Not buying it but Interesting still..

Especially if it turn out to be $600 or so I would add $200 & play Bf3 on PC!

I want to know the price!

a ps3 tablet that can be hook to a tv would be better.

$300 - 400 would be acceptable..

not trolling people just using my common sense.

What are you smoking. It'll be a Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) tablet. Hopefully dual core (or more - why not use NGPs Quad) and PS certified. $499 would be nice, 10" (don't give me that 7" crap, please). I am all in (less than 2 cores...nope, not with me. Next). No BF3 on that thing and no PS3 games. But everything which runs on (e.g.) XPeria Play (and some NGP/PSSuite) games.

Only thing this time, I won't buy early. I want them to iron out PSN on those devices, and the games, PSSuite, I want to see how that works with the NGP (and its games), etc.

Knowing Sony, they'll release a half baken solution - and will update ASAP. I think they are taking on too much at the same time. Phone, tablet, console and portable...until this is streamlined, it'll take a while.

[BeastlyRig]

Thanx at least now I know it won't be worth it!

$500 is to close to playing BF3 dx11 price to care..

[Ju]

I guess you are in the wrong thread. Totally irrelevant.

[Stealth20k]

eh its really a waste of time since anything on these devices will be on the ngp

@ below?

why would it those devices arent compatible with psn. Only ps suite.

Which is why you have to rebuy ps1 classics. Its a seperate system

[cliffbo]

not entirely. think of the uptake of PSN. i can see it doubling by next year easily

[silvacrest]

how exactly does your mind work?

if the same software is on the ngp, the other device shouldn't even exist?

and please, link me to any source that confirmed android content on the NGP.....please

also, you dont no how or if sony will integrate PSN with PS suite, having to rebuy ps1 classics doesn't prove much, only that sony want more money

there is a reason why we have HD remakes of PS2 games instead of software emulation, selling the same game twice or spend money on emu that wont bring in any money....think about it

[Zancruz]

I think it would be really cool if Sony does it right. Give it the smarts to be a workhorse for business and give it the power for great entertainment. Adding a better Remote Play like the PSP where it can connect through the internet to the PS3 so we can excess our stuff would be epic.

[tdrules]

fuck Playstation Certified!
stop fragmenting the Android platform even more, stop removing apps made from hard working people such as psx4droid, who survive on their work to live.
if you're going to release Playstation games, release it on the Android platform as a whole or don't release it

[SuperKing]

U mad bro?

[Christopher]

Let me get this straight, Sony should stop making applications to play their own IPs so that others can profit off of making emulators that play Sony and other third-party owned IPs illegally?

[tdrules]

No, they should allow all Android devices be able to play their IPs, not restrict it to their hardware.
Maybe you should grow up and look up "Open Source", and research why developers like Android.

Don't you think if Sony released games exclusively for PS3 Slim, people with a fat one would be royally pissed off right?

I'm annoyed at how they handled the PSX4Droid situation, the app has been around for a very long time and they didn't give a fuck. So they don't care about people stealing their IP, they're scared people won't buy Playstation 1 games for the 100th time when "Playstation Certified" launches.
Tragic Capitalism in motion.

***No, they should allow all Android devices be able to play their IPs, not restrict it to their hardware.***

And they will, with the PlayStation Suite application.

***Maybe you should grow up and look up "Open Source", and research why developers like Android.***

May be you should realize that Open Source has nothing to do with creating emulators to illegally play someone else's IP.

***So they don't care about people stealing their IP, they're scared people won't buy Playstation 1 games for the 100th time when "Playstation Certified" launches.

So, you are anti-capitalism and think everything should be legal for what is currently considered the illegal distribution of license of someone else's IP? Can I remember that when you own a business of your own?

[Jihaad_cpt]

Dear turd, Sony can do as they please with THEIR software library

[tdrules]

sure they can, but they should make their own firmware and not lean on Android for it.
it spits on everything Android stands for

[Ju]

Why? What does Android stand for? Everything is free or what? Android is not so open as you want to make people believe.

Ever tried to get the Google Market on a device which comes without? Good luck with that. (Yes, there are alternatives, but not the same).

Android is a closed system - using Open Source components. If you want to sell a Android device, you need a license from Google. Android is not free (even though, you can compile your own version).

[silvacrest]

open your eyes, sony are a company in the business of making money, NOT pleasing irrational open source fans

the PS suite will be available to PS certified devices and tegra devices, what more do you want?

and the fragmentation you complain about is a blessing in disguise, it means the choice available is immense, the only people who get burned are the uninformed

[Jihaad_cpt]

Google agreed to it,so your problem with Sony only is really not making sense

[btk]

Windows losing the desktop war against tablets - losing out to Apple and Android. Interesting how the market turns.

[Ju]

Android is going 50% market share. Apple not so much. They'll drop to < 20%. It will more likely be overtaken by WinPhone7 at some point (next 1-2years). Windows missed the Tablet train, yes. True.

[silvacrest]

so google will be our overlords soon? j/k

[Ju]

They already are. LOL
