But PlayStation Mobile won’t be for every Android device. Before a device can access PlayStation Mobile games it will have to be a part of Sony’s PlayStation Certified License program. Not surprisingly that list of devices is currently dominated by Sony brands, along with a few competing device manufacturers. HTC in June agreed to add PSM functionality to its One brand of smartphones, and Asus and WikiPad recently signed up for PlayStation Mobile.
PlayStation Mobile devices available in the U.S., as of Aug. 15, include HTC One X, HTC One S, HTC One V, Xperia arc, Xperia Play, Xperia acro HD, Xperia S, Xperia ion, Xperia acro S, Sony Tablet S and Sony Tablet P. Asus said the Transformer Pad brand would be PlayStation certified, as would WikiPad’s gamer-focused tablet.
