Sony’s released what sounds like a pretty simple, yet clever update for its PlayStation certified tablet: the Sony Tablet S.

Continuing in the traditions of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, the Sony Tablet S has access to the PlayStation Sore via Android. That means movies, games and more. Up until now those games could only be enjoyed in a very limited fashion, as on-screen controllers are usually pretty difficult to handle when compared to the real deal. Now Tablet S users will be able to get that full PS game experience right on their tablets.

Unfortunately for Sony Tablet P owners, the dual-core clamshell-style tablet is not in line to receive this update, as far as we’ve heard so far. But there could be something in the works, so don’t despair just yet.

We think this update is a great idea and can’t really understand why it wasn’t part of the original interface for a tablet that has official Sony PlayStation support. Although the Sony Tablet S hasn’t exactly wowed analysts with its market share, we can imagine more than a few owners of this device being happy with the update.

Currently the update is only available to users in Japan, but we expect it to start rolling out to other countries in the very near future so keep your eyes peeled.
