Sony Unveils PlayStation Tablets
Options
Two separate designs coming this fall.
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.

Basically. But its really just not that hard to tell what Sony will do. Its always leaked, announced too far in advance, or something Nintendo did years before.
1) Could've waited for E3
2) Sounds/Looks like a bigger version of the DS (The S2). The S1 is just another Ipad.

It's not a gaming system so no need to save it for E3.
Besides, these guys (Sony & Nintendo) mostly give their best showings at TGS. E3 is more for the US market. -

E3 isn't just for gaming systems though. -

I know, but this is not something that would be huge news at a convention like E3 - it's like Apple coming to E3 to reveal the IPhone 9. -
Ok I see where you coming from. I also see you have a new picture, but i'm not gonna act like i'm thirsty.
