-EReader for Vita is also right up my ally. I keep trying to gather why people even buy tablets when a smart phone does all the same things and is more portable. Nevertheless people do. The reasoning for any gamer to opt for a tablet and not a vita is getting slim. I would love to download some ebooks and read them on the go with Vita, as I would never fathom buying a 200 machine simply for that one feature.

I'm with you on this. Actually, I dont even know wtf a tablet is for either, (android tablets, ipads, and everything else). What the hell is it even for anyway? Its like the must have thingy that has zero use. everything it does a smartphone/notebook/handheld does better.

Anyways, an Ebook reader will be awesome! While their at it, a calculater, notepad and alarm clock app would be nice. And yes, I'm serious, I always use a calculator when doing my groceries and with a calculator app, I dont have to bring one (I know my smartphone has one but hey, calculator on Vita=Awesome), note pad can be like a to do list and i can use it for my grocery list. Better yet, a port of one of those mobile office android apps would be great. With these apps, it would make the Vita even more multifunctional.

Get OUT OF MY HEAD!!!! I have been saying from jump that Sony should actually implement some of those basic phone like applications like a calculator(prefer Graphic, that would be golden). Some of those more nifty little conveniences that make it worthwhile. Also a notepad like app for just jotting down info.

Tablets just seem super silly to me. I think everyone has just been caught up in the hype of Apple's "New Gadget" and how oh so futuristic it feels but people have forgotten....

-Buttons still beat touch at funtionality. Yes sometimes they are cool but buttons give a tangible response feedback you won't get from touch, not to mention they just work more consistantly. Rememer this is the reason most don't like touch exclusive games from iphone devices with sometimes them becoming more responsive. No wondering "Did I press that? i cant tell!"

-Then there is the fact smartphones do EVERYTHING tablets do basically, with the added benefit of being more portable and being a phone. I don't understand it at all. In a sense I supose Tablets are more so a take on the laptop/PC market. Because there batterylife kinda sucks on the grander scale of things. So what if its smaller than a laptop, u still end up putting it in your bookbag/manpurse/satchel which could easily fit a laptop. If that is too heavy for you you need to work out more :/. Running PC like application programs on tablets are still a joke at this point. Feels like you are trying to run photoshop CS5 on a macantosh. 

-the whole "The screen is bigger seems odd as Laptop's screen is far bigger and like I said before, not as heavy as Apple wants you to believe. Not to mention any proper Reader app will allow you to scale font size to your liking :P Reminds me of the Apple Air laptop.......What a peice of shit that was. It looked so high tech and fancy for a laptop....but lacked any of the capabilities a lap top should have like idk.....PORTS!

At least with the Vita you are not being suckered into paying an outrageous PREMIUM price(no one complains tho :/.....) and the added bonus of hardcore gaming capabilities. Now that PS Suite is out and only $90 for the DevKit this should mean similar apps could be coming Vita's way (If Sony doesn't make it a complete headache for devs to do so). Once Vita starts to get those apps they should really start pitching Vita at the tablet lemming's market.
