Sony releases PlayStation Suite SDK for Android and Vita games

Sony has released a beta version of the PlayStation Suite SDK, allowing independent developers to start programming for Android and PlayStation Vita platforms.

The developers will be able to download the SDK and work on original content for the PlayStation Network, or other PlayStation devices, such as the Sony Ericsson phones and the portable Sony PlayStations.

Sony has even said it's willing to lend out some smartphones for developers who cannot afford the costs of buying.

The hope is the download, free of course - click here to download, will attract new talent to the platform and offer some exciting new IPs across Sony's entertainment range of electronics.

Are you a developer? Would you use the Sony SDK? We'd love to hear from you.
