Sony’s Howard Stringer confirms Honeycomb tablet in US by summer

Ready for a taste of a sweet Honeycomb tablet with a Sony twist ? You’d better be — Japan’s Nikkei is quoting Sony chief executive, Sir Howard Stringer, saying that the company’s first Android 3.0 tablet will be on sale by the end of summer. Better yet, it’ll pop for retail in the US first, according to the report. This lines up nicely with the reported September launch of the PlayStation Certified Tegra 2 “S1″ tablet featuring that unique “wrap” design we first told you about back in February. Or will it be S2 clamshell ? Who knows, Howard isn’t saying. The new tablet tattle was apparently uttered at the same event where Howard spilled the beans about Apple’s plan to use Sony sensors . Come on Howie, quit the teasing and just come out with it you saucy Welsh minx.
