A Bloomberg report has cited Sony CEO Sir Howard Stringer as confirming in Japanese newspaper Nikkei that an Android-based tablet from the company is on the way - for release this summer.

It says that the device will run Android 3.0 Honeycomb, and that it will hit the US market first.

It was reported earlier this year that a tablet, thought to be codenamed the S1, would be PlayStation Certified and will come with games packed in. It's unknown if this is the same thing, though.
