Sony made it official today in Tokyo, introducing two new tablets running Android 3.0 "Honeycomb" software and designed to access PlayStation content.

The Japanese company said in a brief statement that it is "developing two tablets," including the S1 which is "optimized for media entertainment" and the S2 (both codenames), aimed at "mobile communication and entertainment."

The tablets, with the official moniker of "Sony Tablet," will become available worldwide starting in the fall of 2011.

Both will be equipped with the Android 3.0 operating system and be WiFi and WAN (3G/4G) compatible.

Sony will also offer access to content via its Qriocity music and movie services and the PlayStation Suite, a framework for downloading and buying PlayStation content on Android tablets.
