Sony is developing its first entries into the tablet market. The tablets are going by the code names "S1" and "S2," and they will be available in the global market in fall 2011. S1 will be optimized for rich media entertainment, and S2 will be optimized for mobile communication and entertainment.

Both devices are compatible with WiFi and WAN (3G/4G) and run on Nvidia's Tegra CPU.

With MagicPlan, you can put away the graph paper -- though you'll probably want to hang on to the measuring tape. The app works on the iPhone 4 and the fourth-gen iPod touch.
