The unique form factors and Playstation branding of Sony’s S1 and S2 tablets have us fairly excited to test them out, but Sony hasn’t been very obliging on that front. Luckily, German tech site Golem had a bit more luck.

Sadly, the hands-on is only 18 seconds long, and it’s not exactly action-packed. But you get a feel for the size of the thing, and exactly how annoying that big black bar in the middle of your viewing area is going to be.

They also took this really nice shot of the S1:

It looks slimmer than I expected. Hopefully we’ll have a similar hands-on event here in the states soon, and get you a hands-on of our own.
