UPDATE: PSP games on the tablets are confirmed. Initially it seemed like the PSP games weren't going to be emulated, and rather ported to the tablets. While this is good for exploiting the hardware of the tablet, it makes it difficult to see a large variety of games coming to the device. However, a Sony rep came out and said: "Virtually any PSone game, or PSP game will play on this device." "Right now you can go to the PlayStation Network and get any PSone, or PSP game it's gonna play on this device". Which sounds a lot more like emulation rather than ports. The jury's still out on what PlayStation Suite will hold, but this is quite interesting.

New thread for new news
So Sony's making tablets, the first of which is set to hit shelves next month and is called the Sony Tablet S. The website for this product showcases this:
It mentions PSP games in the fine print (and IIRC earlier in the day it was listed as "PlayStation and PSP Classics" - but don't quote me on that) and Pinball Heroes, a pre-loaded game on this Android Tablet is actually a PSP game.
Previously Sony announced that this Tablet, and their upcomming Tablet P were PlayStation Certified, which meant they're a part of PlayStation Suite. A hardware agnostic software platform maintained by SCE for Android devices that any manufacturer can apply to use. The first of these devices are the Xperia Play, and these tablets. However, when Suite was mentioned only PSone titles, and original games were mentioned. There wasn't any mention of PSP titles, though that would fit rumors where supposedly LittleBigPlanet, and God of War were running on the Xperia Play at one point.
This is very interesting. Is Sony going to be utilizing their PSP software library for Suite? Certainly seems so.
