Sony has continued its drip-feed of information concerning the upcoming S1 and S2 Android tablets today by accidentally leaking support documents for the two machines on its official support page.

They don't provide much in terms of information (hey, you can download apps from something called ‘the Android Market’, who’d have thought?) But the accompanying images represent the first pictures we’ve seen of Sony’s new additions to the vanilla Honeycomb installation.

You can take a ganders at the gallery above for the whole shebang, but essentially it seems like the tablets will use a familiar-looking homescreen, a proprietary music player, and a new keyboard that displays a numberpad to the right. We’re not exactly sure how useful that would be if it means squashing everything else up, but at least it's different.

The S1 and S2 PlayStation-certified tablets are expected to launch in September.
