All comes down to the games at the end of the day. The 3DS browser is alright, but far from brilliant. It is quite quick, but videos tend to be quite choppy. Alright for browsing the internet, checking emails etc., or other light stuff (around 50% of the posts I've made in the past few months on this site have been from the 3DS, for example). But, it's only Wi-Fi.
The Vita is the same, unless you get the 3G version (which I do not have, so I can't speak about it, but I've heard it's quite expensive for no real gain). But the browser is better in some ways, and worse in others. Personally, I prefer that on the 3DS, as you can use it easily mid-game, but both are acceptable. However, neither are anywhere near as good as a tablets.
The real advantage is the games. I've played many a classic game on the 3DS (currently going through Rhythm Thief), and there's a few good games on the Vita, though the library isn't appealing to me much lately. However, the quality of games you will get on these handhelds are far superior to those on tablets.
As I say, and as have others, it's which you'd rather have.
