Use your PS3 controller with a Sony Cert. Tablet



Finally after a few months on the market, the Android-based 'Sony Tablet S' has added PlayStation Dualshock PS3 Controller Support to their OS via a new firmware update!

According to IGN and Engadget, Sony has announced that their Android tablet (for now, only the "S" model) will support PS3 Dualshock controllers via an update.

Owners of the Sony Tablet S, will be able to sync their PS3 controller using -first- the USB connector. But after that, you can use it wireless in a selection of games.

Currently, the update is only available in Japan and there's no word if their other model (the dual screen "P") will receive the same treatment.

Sony Tablet S update lets you play with PS3 controllers, cable adapter required

We've got some good news for gamers that were willing to plunge into the PlayStation-certified world of Sony's tablets. The latest update to the company's divisive Tablet S will let you connect your DualShock 3 PS3 controllers with those 32-bit games of yesteryear. The update is available now in Sony's homeland of Japan and the company is also rewarding its tablet faithful with a free download; an Ape Escape-themed mini-game collection. It's not all good news, however. The clamshelled Tablet P doesn't get the controller hook-up and you'll need to buy an additional USB adapter cable to connect a controller to the monoscreened Tablet S. A briefly worded, vaguely translated release awaits after the break.

Update: We've heard from Japanese users that you'll only need to the cable to initially pair the controller with the tablet. After that, you're free to wirelessly play away.
