One of the tablets, dubbed the S1, sports a 9.4-inch screen. The other is the S2; it bears a novel dual-screen design. The device's two 5.5-inch screens can be used separately or together; they can also be folded onto one another to create a compact and highly portable package.

Both tablets are WiFi and 3G/4G compatible and integrate with PlayStation Suite, Sony's new Android-friendly platform that allows users to download and play PlayStation games.

And, as might be expected, the tablets are intended to be welcome additions to the living room, playing well with and enhancing traditional entertainment devices. Sony says the S1 in particular "uses infrared technology and works as a universal remote control for a variety of AV devices ... turning on TVs, changing the channel and adjusting the volume." The tablets can also take advantage of DLNA functionality to "project" content to other, larger screens and speakers.

The tablets will come to retail in fall 2011. We're still waiting for details on pricing, but we're expecting it'll be competitive with what's already on the market.
