Sony has long said it would cautiously approach the tablet market (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/) while it built up its Reader (http://www.engadget.com/tag/sony,reader) e-book line, but it looks like things are picking up a little steam: CFO Nobuyuki Oneda said the company is "very interested" in the tablet market during his post-earnings report news conference. Oneda said that Sony's "confident we have the skills to create a product," and that "Time-wise we are a little behind the iPad but it's a space we would like to be an active player in." We could certainly see a Sony device about the size of the Reader Daily Edition making a splash, especially if it's tied in with Sony's new push at a unified online experience (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/sony-extending-premium-psn-content-to-other-devices-blowing-min/) -- and dare we hope for tablet remix of the Dash Internet Viewer (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/sony-dash-gets-down-with-chumby-and-bravia-internet-video-hands/) (pictured above) based on the Chumby OS (http://www.engadget.com/tag/chumby)?
