Sony to use Android in More Products

Speculation has been running rampant over comments made by Yoshihisa Ishida, head of Sony TV division, to the effect that they are looking to use Android in more devices:

The obvious jump in logic here are Android powered tablets and media players. Of course that is very much speculation, but given that Sony joint venture in the mobile business, Sony Ericsson, is aiming to be the biggest supplier of Android handsets in the world it is not that far a leap of the imagination to see Sony themselves jumping on the tablet bandwagon. Indeed it seems almost incredulous that Sony will not have some representation in the burgeoning tablet market at some point so perhaps the real question is whether it will be a Sony effort or a Sony Ericsson badged product?

Sony Ericsson already have Mediascape overlays for their Android devices and whilst the UI layers have received something of a mixed reception perhaps they might translate better to a device with a bigger screen? Certainly Timescape would look pretty snazzy on something with a 7 or 10 inch display.
