The 9.4&rdquo; tablet features a 1280 x 768 display, front and back cameras at 3.0 and 5.0 megapixels respectively, and a range of accessories that engadget&rsquo;s source describes as &ldquo;similar to those for the iPad&rdquo;. Which makes sense, because at a glance, it looks exactly like an iPad too.<\/p>\n<p>As a PlayStation Certified device, the Tablet S will also support the company&rsquo;s cross-platform PlayStation Suite software framework, which is techspeak for a special PlayStation Store with games.<\/p>\n<p>Although Sony hasn&rsquo;t confirmed a price for the Tablet S, it&rsquo;s been previously tagged at $599. It&rsquo;s expected to launch in the &ldquo;first two weeks&rdquo; of September.<\/p>\n<p>Discuss the<a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/16940-PlayStation-cetified-Android-tablet-revealed?p=505648#post505648\" target=\"_self\"> S1 tablet<\/a> in the forums<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It only does tablet stuff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13654","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13654","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13654"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13654\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13654"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13654"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13654"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
