As is the Vita hardware is plenty powerful for a mobile device. It also already is a portable PS4, you can remote play over wifi and via tethering to your 4G smart phone.
The only things the Vita or mobile PlayStation Platform really needs is 4G and/or cellular service, and a bit more RAM to increase multitasking functionality. This way people are not forced to bring both a Vita and a smartphone everywhere. With a 4G Vita there is no need for a smartphone.
I think we will see Sony revamp the Vita hadware in the next 12 months to take advantage of PlayStation Network better. 4G access to PlayStation Now, Remote Play, PlayStation Vue, PlayStation Video, and PlayStation Music. They will also expand their ooVoo partnership to allow calling, texting, and video chatting to any mobile, or networked device, even if they don't make a phone. They don't have to go after Android and iOS, they just have to build the ultimate moble gaming platform for gamers. Even if they only reach a market of 25 million users, those 25 million dedicated gamers will make them more money through PSN than the 100 million people using Xperia phones.
Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
