We were complaining just yesterday about the Sony Android tablet teasers and their lack of specs. And lo! The gadget gods have delivered some. CrashPad went snooping around Sony’s eSupport site and discovered a troubleshooting document for the unreleased Sony S1 and Sony S2 tablets. They grabbed eight screens which show that Android Honeycomb 3.2 is destined to run on them and got a peek at other features including the Music Player app.

The Sony Android tablet screenshots also show bundled Sony apps like Chumby and Crash Bandicoot. Google apps are all present and correct as well as Foursquare and Evernote. Unsurprisingly, the page hosting the Android tablet info has now been pulled from the Sony site but you can see all the leaked screenshots at the link below.

You can see the latest Sony Android tablets teaser video, which Sony says is the penultimate episode, after the break. This time the characters move through a mechanism with marbles whizzing above them and bubbles floating around them to seemingly promote the tablets ability to fling videos and photos onto your HD TV. Watch it for yourself after the break and let us know if you can spot any more clues about what to expect from the Sony tablets…

Google has gobbled up a little-known firm called eBook Technologies with an notice to that effect popping up on the companies homepage. Quite what eBook Technologies does isn’t totally clear.

The eBook Technologies site says it “supplies a family of intelligent reading devices and licenses technologies that enable automated publishing and control over content distribution.” That sounds like tech that could easily be folded in to Google Books but also opens up the possibility for an actual Google ebook reading device, perhaps even the mysterious Google Speedbook…
