The hacking crowd's going to be all over this thing though. It's powerful and has a touch screen. At that point, the only thing missing is the software. Sony COULD officially support homebrew, which would make this this competitive with an iPad, or they could just block anything but their games and just lose that market entirely. Considering Sony's choices this gen, I'm pretty sure we all have a good idea which way Sony's going to lean. It'll be quicker to hack this if it really does use a version of Android (aka Linux) as it's backend.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
