Sony Has ANOTHER Big Security Problem (SNE)
Sony just can't get the hang of this security disclosure thing.
The company took Sony Online Entertainment down last night because of a problem discovered while Sony investigated last week's breach of the PlayStation Network.
In a note on the SOE Web site, the company promised to provide more information on Monday. But the day is almost done in most of the world and there's still no more word about what happened and what user data -- if any -- may have been stolen.
Sony Online Entertainment is the home for a bunch of online PC games, including Everquest, which claims more than 400,000 players.
Bloomberg cites a Nikkei news report saying that more than 12,000 credit card numbers may have been stolen in a second attack unrelated to last week's breach.
It took almost a week for Sony executives to explain and apologize for the PlayStation Network breach. The company admitted that hackers may have stolen personal information from the 77 million people using the service.

Sony Announces S1 And Dual-Screen S2 Android Tablets
Sony has just announced a pair of Honeycomb tablets, but — wait, wait, these ones are actually different. Yes, Sony has set itself apart from the crowd of Android slates by focusing on unique form factor and its Qriocity media suite. They have their own names but are both underneath a new "Sony Tablet" brand, which is just about the least exciting "brand" I've ever encountered. The tablets themselves, however, look interesting.
The S1 is a slate-style tablet with a 9.4-inch screen. Its special power is a strange rolled shape and an "off-center of gravity design" intended to make holding it easier. The S2 is a dual screen device with two 5.5-inch screens. Didn't see that coming.

Sony Unveils PlayStation Suite And Puts Its Games On Android
Wow, this is pretty interesting. Instead of just a PlayStation Phone, which Sony is widely reported to be working on, the company has announced the PlayStation Suite, which will put PlayStation games not just on Sony's phones but also on other phones, including Android. (Engadget)
The Suite is a development framework and also basically an app store for games on Android. Sony will control the app store and probably attract tons of top-tier developers for the framework. They also hinted at other "content" that might be on the Suite.
This is a pretty ballsy move from Sony, and also a smart one. It looks increasingly likely that, as with point and shoot cameras, standalone mobile gaming devices are becoming subsumed into smartphones. Sony's previous mobile gaming devices were underwhelming and software is where most of the value is. But Sony has an infuriating habit of trying to own every step of the value chain, sometimes shooting itself in the foot. For example, their PlayStation Portable was hampered by its disc format, the UMD, that only worked for the PSP but which Sony went on a quixotic quest to make the dominant mobile media format and have movie studios put out their movies on UMD.
So Sony is finally accepting reality and focusing on its strengths, marketing the heck out of a game platform and attracting developers to it.
Some people will whine about yet another app store on Android, but we think this could be good for the platform. So far the iPhone is ahead of Android on gaming, because it's easier for developers to make money there. If Sony fixes that, that means Android phones will be more attractive and sell more.

Playstation Suite: Sony Brings Playstation Games To Android Phones
At their PSP2 launch event today, Sony did not only unveil the new device but also introduced "Playstation Suite", a new cross-device game platform the company will use to bring Playstation 1 titles to Android phones and tablets (version 2.3 and up). In other words, Sony games will not exclusively be distributed to owners of the Playstation Phone that's supposed to be officially announced next month.

Comment on Sony Joins Android/iPhone E-book Reader Fray by Kate Davis
I've recently bought a Sony ebook reader because it is the only make available in the UK compatible with borrowing library ebooks, a feature that is not widely mentioned.
