Sony Corporation plans to enter the tablet-computer market with two models running Android operating system, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Sony's two tablets named S1 and S2 will be released late this year. The S1 is a slate-style tablet computer with a 9.4-inch touchscreen display that is thick on one end and tapers. The S2 is a shell-shaped device that opens and closes, with two 5.5-inch touch-screen displays.

The two devices may launch at different times in different markets. The company said the two devices will also come with wireless connectivity through Wi-Fi or 3G/4G services.

Sony has said it aims to establish itself as the No. 2 tablet maker after Apple by 2012.
