It's taken Sony a while to join the tablet party, but anything from a firm famous for its pin-sharp displays and desirable PCs is going to be worth waiting for. From what we know so far, the new PlayStation-certified tablet and its sibling, the S2, are very desirable indeed - so what do we actually know, when can we get our hands on one and where do we go to pre-order? Let's find out. The Sony S1 is a traditional tablet While the Sony S2 is doing something very different, the Sony S1 tablet is in iPad territory: as you'll see from our photo-tastic Sony S1 update , the device is a typically rectangular ten-incher with a curved, tapered body . The Sony S1 features include DLNA There's no HDMI port, but the Sony S1 feature list includes DLNA compatibility for streaming media to and from DLNA-compatible devices (Windows is DLNA-compatible too) and infra-red control of Bravia televisions . Buttons are minimal: power, volume and a recessed reset button - and ports are limited to USB. The Sony S1 specs are gamer-friendly The S1 is a PlayStation tablet, which means you'll be able to play first-generation PlayStation titles on it . The Sony S1 is an Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet A dual-core Tegra processor is likely - some sites are hoping for a quad-core version, but there's no concrete evidence of that - and the Sony S1 operating system will be Android 3.0 Honeycomb. The obligatory front- and rear-facing cameras are there too. Does anybody actually use their tablets for videoconferencing
