The Vita has PlayStation Mobile which is an App store. It just launched so there aren't many titles but there is an expected 70 by Christmas and then they will start flooding in like mad. Android developers can easily port their apps over to PSM since they use the same code. The Vita has Netflix, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Google Maps, Email, a great web browser and more. Add in all of the apps it will be getting through PSM and you have yourself a tablet. Why don't people know this?

We know you love your vita, but please, stop the shilling. There are some phones with a bigger screen than the Vita, it can't be considered a tablet.

Shilling, what are you insinuating. Try adding to the conversation, don't just try and undermine what I say with your bias.

What's in a tablet? What counts now a days? With mini tablets can't it be one of those? "Tablets" should be considered more about what they do, how they function than the size of their screen. The Vita is a tablet, it is a touch screen mobile device with multiple computer-esque functions and apps.

Do you consider the ipod touch a tablet?

Why not? Tablets are just smart phones without the network chip in them. The bigger the tablet the more powerful, the smaller the opposite. 

I agree with others that Sony needs to make a vita with a network chip asap. In fact I have been saying that they should have a PSP phone since 2005. With the Xperia Play coming up on its 2 year anniversary, contract subscribers will be looking for something to upgrade to. Now is the perfect time. To make things even better there has been a major shift to phones with 5 and 6in screens. That would allow the Vita to fit right in. As chark has said, PSM has got apps covered, so they don't need android for these devices. Hell, I only need a phone for calls anyways. I would much rather have real games than the apps I never use on my phone anyways.
