accelerator sensor in Tablet S?

Hello Folks!

I just downloaded the new Gameloft Game N.O.V.A. 2 HD on my Sony Tablet S and was surprised that during playing - which was very fluently (maybe because of the Nividia Tegra 2) - i found out that there is a very good sensor that registrated the tablet movement or acceleration - i do not know how to call that.

When I turned my body 45 degrees to the left, the view in N.O.V.A. 2 HD also moved to the left and that with a precision i didn't expect. It's probably a feature that will come handy when it's capable with PS3 integration Feature.

Anyway - I am already very excited how Sony will develop that feature in combination with the PS3...

And with the camera on the backside of the Tablet - it's really exciting which Playstation Vita Feature (like augmented reality gaming) the Tablet S will be upgraded with in the future - I hope in the near future!!!

Are you exited too?

What feature do you think Sony will implement on the Sony Tablet?

Dear breedBenR

Thanks for your "feedback"

I know it has a acceleration sensor, that's why I created this post.

By the way I was wrong, it wasn't the 3-axis accelerometer that registered my turning-movement, it was the Gyro-sensor.

In the meanwhile I found the Info in the Sony UK page (which is a bit hidden in the technical info but worth showing):

http://www.sony.co.uk/product/CompareProducts.action?site=odw_en_GB&sectiontype=Product&mini=true&comparisonViewType=techspec&models=SGPT111GB&models=SGPT112GB&models=SGPT114GB

Where its says:

Sensor:

3-axis accelerometer
Gyrometer
Digital Compass

Hi Lancelot, how did you get this ?

Gameloft site and the shortcut I got on my tablet doesn't recognise my device so won't let me download - I must be missing something!

this is a very strange thing...

Gameloft changed s0mething from the 1 to the 4. of october.

I bought N.O.V.A. 2 HD for 3$ on the 1st of october and when I follow the shortcut to Gameloft HD games now... i get the same message as you do.

It must have something to do with the official e-mail from Sony this tuesday saying "the new sony tablet s is available now"

gameloft must have "heard" that and removed the games - do not ask me why... i don't know.

I bet gameloft will rise the prices on the games.
