Take Android, honeycomb, a listing of 9.4 inches and Sony PlayStation brand, and what do you get? Because a game Playstation certified tablet, what else!
Imagine: Android 3.0 ("honeycomb") on a tablet of 9.4 inches with a 1280 x 800 pixel display, an NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, front and rear cameras, USB and infrared ports (plus the ability to Guide Bravia TV), a sprinkling of buttons (volume on/off), tie-ins with his Qriocity download games pre-loaded Sony PS One, a Bravia Media Remote, a price of $ 600, and a (possible) date of September 2011 for shipment.
Think music on demand and video games through Qriocity plus courtesy Sony PlayStation Suites, a device-independent software framework announced last month alongside Sony PSP successor, codename NGP (Next Generation Portable). And all this, the cumulative efforts courtesy from Sony VAIO (lead reported), PlayStation, Sony Reader and Sony Ericsson product groups.
Thank you Engadget the scoop (if their sources of Sony are not fibbing--Hey, gave the phone PlayStation). Of course everyone was speculating about Sony PlayStation certified tablets just confirmed the game Xperia, but this would be the first evidence of a quantifiable and intimate Engadget one was in the offing for awhile now.
The mock up above is Engadget, designed to capture what you are asking a design "wrap" intended to make you feel like you're toting around a magazine or a book with a bunch of pages folded back. I know, the "bulge" or "fold" seems pretty strange, but Engadget claims that he had to move the center of gravity, making it easier to keep one hand on the tablet. Kind of reminds me of the very first Ultraportables VAIO, that something like a decade ago were only slightly thicker than the Apple Macbook Air, save to their cylindrical, removable batteries edgewise (and incredibly VAIO-violet).
If this thing makes the alpha or beta (or anywhere) it'll be fascinating to see, especially if Sony put the thing in head to head with Apple's iPad. All that is missing? A PSPgo style gamepad.
Who knows, maybe Sony got this angle covered (somehow), too.
