We were happy to learn earlier this year that the PlayStation Store was landing on Sony's Tablet S (http://www.ign.com/articles/2011/10/19/playstation-store-hits-sonys-android-tablet-s), but now we've received even better news: Sony has announced that the Android-powered tablet is being updated to support DualShock controllers.

Owner's of the Tablet S will be able to sync their PlayStation 3 controller to the device to use with their selection of games. According to Engadget (http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/16/sony-tablet-s-update-lets-you-play-with-ps3-controllers-cable-a/), initial setup requires you to link the controller to the tablet using a USB connector, but after that, you'll be wire-free.
The update is currently available in Japan, and comes with an Ape Escape-themed mini collection.
There is no word on if or when the dual-screen Sony Tablet P (http://www.ign.com/articles/2011/04/26/sony-unveils-playstation-tablets) will receive the same treatment.
