Okay everyone will agree that Sony' slick looking new handheld the Vita packs one hell of a punch! 

Seems like sony spared no expense to cram as much CUTTING EDGE technology under the hood of that bad boy as possible!

YES, under the hood the PS Vita is second to none among handheld gaming devices in every facet.

However, perhaps the most important part of any gaming device is the screen, and this is where I think Sony missed an opportunity.

I was curious as to why they wouldn't try top or at least match the Apple Retina display?

Is there something in the hardware that prevents compatibility??

Apple's iPhone 4 will be almost 2 years old by the time the PS Vita hits American shores.

Please help me figure this out...thanks!
