Nice specs all around imo. Seems like PSVita has a better CPU and they both tie with the GPU (Assuming iPad has PowerVR SGX543 MP4). iPad takes the total RAM available, and pwns the Vita in screen specs. The only thing the Vita holds is the OLED tech.

I think your not doing a good comparison, superchunk. The Vita is a dedicated handheld, so a "Vita phone line" wouldn't sell anywhere near even PSP levels in a given number of years (Look at other Sony phones), in addition that, imo, people don't go to Gamestop, or any other store, to buy gaming phones (or phones to use for gaming); I mean who says "I'm tired of my DS, I'm gonna go buy an iPad, or G-Nex, or even an iPod Touch.

In regard to it getting outdated, that's the "disadvantage" (if you will call it that) that consoles have. Not just portables but home consoles too. The 3DS will likely be around 4 years from now, and no one is claiming it's outdated because it looks like the Wii (sales would show that); same goes for the Vita.

Personally, I wouldn't have bought a Vita phone, because it would be too expensive to start off with (contract) and then knowing every year after, a newer, "updated tech" Vita phone will keep releasing.Same thing that keeps me from buying a tab. I'm still rocking the first gen ipod touch and I refuse to buy a newer one because a newer will come out the year after (Tab wise, it's specs relative to updates)

Edit:

Pricing. Imo, for what it does, $310 is a good price for a Vita (Wifi + 16gb card). If you want to put it in the same market as tabs, then it can only get compared to an equivalent 16gb tab that's weaker in hardware such as the  $399 Galaxy Tab 8.9. Vita would only seem more enticing now. Keep in mind that Vita will only get cheaper as time goes, and will be supported longer than last years Galaxy Tab.
