The S1 and S2 wil be powered by Android and will feature touch screens. The S1 will have a 5.5-inch touch screen capable of playing HD content. The screen has a resolution of 1,280 x 800 and can save up to 36 GB. The S2's two screens each have a 1,024 x 480 display; this model was shown playing [Playstation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-playstation-handheld) games such as Crash Bandicoot. Needless to say, I am incredibly excited over the new Sony Tablet line. Hopefully Sony will keep the prices of the S1 and S2 down so that consumers won't have to take out a small loan to be able to afford them.
