Install Sony PlayStation Mobile on Rooted Android Phones and Tablets [Tutorial]

Sony has released PlayStation Mobile, which brings a PlayStation-like gaming experience to certified devices, including certain Android smartphones and tablets. Gamers with an account on Sony Entertainment Network (SEN) can download a variety of content. Sony has confirmed it will expand the content on PlayStation Mobile but as of now the official blog notes a couple of independent video games such as Loot The Land, Beats Slider and Super Crate Box.

The software has been released for the Sony Tablet P, S and Xperia Tablet S, and the One series of smartphones from HTC. For a full list of compatible devices, click here. If your device is not one of these, you can still access PlayStation Mobile, via a zip archive.
