According to Engadget, Sony is creating a PlayStation-certified Android gaming tablet, one that will be released in September.
The 9.4-inch tablet will run a customized Android 3.0, and is currently going by the internal codename "S1."
Sources speaking to the site say Sony has brought out an engineering team from their VAIO, Reader, PlayStation, and Sony Ericsson product groups for the product.
The tablet will focus on Qriocity, Sony's on-demand music, games, movie and ebook service. Additionally, the tablet will come preloaded with Sony PSX games, a Bravia Media Remote for HDTV integration and an IR port built-in.
Inside, the device is powered by a Tegra 2 dual-core processor and the tablet will feature 1280x800 resolution and dual cameras.
Finally, Engadget explains the "design" of the tablet which looks like the picture posted below:
Best of all, it won't be ridiculously expensive, as a Wi-Fi-only model will sell for $600.

The tablet's "wrap" design is meant to remind the owner of something personal in the way that it mimics an open paperback stuffed into the back pocket, or a magazine folded backward upon itself such that only a single page is visible to read. A design that also gives the tablet's display enough angle to comfortably touch-type when placed on a table. It also makes one-handed operation a bit less taxing on the wrist by shifting the center of gravity to the bulbous edge of the device.
