There's some screenshots.  Cool idea, but as is the case with all things Sony I dread the price.

I'm more concerned about the lack of buttons; I find it difficult to play games on an iphone/ipod touch/ipad that are action-heavy because of the lack of physical buttons. I fear the same thing could happen with these tablets. While the idea is all nice and cool (and probably expensive, too) I just can't get used to touch based controls, especially for games that take advantage of some iteration of the DualShock controller. I mean, joysticks, facebuttons AND L/R buttons, let alone two each? That's going to get rather complicated. Based on the pictures, I definitely DON'T like the control configuration. Only time will tell how well this works out, but I'm not holding out hope.
