When first announced Sony did mention they planned to eventually bring it to other devices in the near future. Now according to sources at the AsiaD conference this week Sony’s been talking about just that. While no specific details were given, they do plan to offer the Playstation Suite to non-Sony devices in the future.</div>

The Playstation Store just launched for their Tablet S as well as the new Sony Music Unlimited so things are starting to finally come together over in Sony’s Android camp. Being able to play games like Crash Bandicoot or Jet Moto on other Android devices sure would be neat though right? I was able to enjoy Crash Bandicoot during my hands-on with the Tablet S.</div>

While the SDK won’t be available until at least next month, SCE Chairman Kaz Hirai told Engadget at AsiaD that its Android-friendly framework is still open to all other manufacturers. Kaz did go on to mention they don’t plan to keep it exclusively in the Sony family and that Sony is currently “in discussions with non-Sony companies to bring them onboard.”</div>

No specific details or timeframe was given but they mention we’ll all hear about it once something becomes official. For now we’ll have to wait a little longer before we get to play games like Final Fantasy natively on our Android tablets.</div>

Sony aims to bring the Playstation Suite to Non-Sony Android devices

Happily a brief demo of the Android Honeycomb prototypes in Munich this week has been more elucidating; while Sony still isn’t saying much about final specs or software, at least Golem got to briefly play with the slates.</p><br/>The S1′s 9.7-inch display, folded-magazine style tapered form factor and light, 600g weight met with approval, the wedge shape make for something easy to hold. Sony apparently had Crash Bandicoot running on the tablet, with the on-screen PlayStation controls straightforward to use. The company is still generally quiet, but has apparently confirmed PlayStation Suite compatibility.<br/><br/>As for the S2, that’s a lot more compact than we initially expected – the clamshell form-factor hiding its dual 5.5-inch touchscreens well – and does a decent job of minimizing the gap between the two panels. Sony hasn’t confirmed pricing or availability, but previous leaks have suggested a September launch in Europe which could well mean an IFA 2011 official reveal.
