Sony has dropped a couple of nuggets onto the world of mobile gaming today, specifically with regards to Android of course. First off, a quick note that Sony has changed the name of the Playstation Suite to Playstation Mobile. A small but suitable change but the second bit of news is more substantial.

Up until now the Playstation Suite SDK has been in a closed beta but as of today it is now being opened up to more developers and the status is being changed to an open beta. The Playstation Suite SDK is a set of tools developers can use to create games for Playstation Certified devices whether it be the PS Vita or the Sony Tablet S and everything in between.
Yet another bit of great news which looks to be, at least temporarily, exclusive to one location. Sony revealed today that there are now 21 new Playstation One titles available for Playstation certified devices like the Xperia Play or Sony S Tablet. Bad news, it’s only in Japan for right now.
Good news for those of you out there that own a Playstation Certified Android device and would much rather have some original games instead of the porting of Playstation 1 games. Sony has confirmed at the Mobile World Congress, which is going on right now, that original content will be coming to the Playstation Suite soon.
The fine folks over at XDA have a little treat today for those of you who own an Xperia X10 but want to be able to have the Xperia Play’s Playstation’s certification and suite on your phone so you can play those Playstation games. It is now possible to port it over to your X10.
Well here is something right out of left field this morning. Apparently HTC will be working on Playstation certified Android devices this year, at least according to sources that has confirmed this in a report by Pocket-Lint. Even though it is ‘confirmed’ by sources, we are throwing the rumor tag on this one.
Looking for a reason to plunk down for a $400 to officially play Playstation games? You’re in luck as Sony slashed a cool $100 permanently off its curiously shaped “unique asymmetric design” Tablet S. This is the second discount in a matter of weeks for the Sony S tablet.
Sony is beginning to roll out an update for their Sony S tablet which will bring native support for the Playstation controller. Already live out in Japan, the update will allow users to plug their Playstation controller into the Sony S Tablet via USB.
Today Sony has begun accepting developer sign-ups for the beta version of their Playstation SDK. The SDK from Sony is to provide developers a more uniform platform in which to develop games for the PS Vita and Sony’s Android devices which include the Sony S and Sony P tablets, the Xperia play as well as future devices.
PSX4Droid was quite the popular Playstation emulator for Android when it first landed on the Android Market by ZodTTD and still does have a strong following even though it was removed from the Android Market by Google. There seems to be a new listing though for PSX4Droid. Is it the real one?
