| babuks said: Phablets will earn their place in the market (5"-8" tablets). If Vita can let people know that it can be used for internet tasks just like a 7" tablet, then people might get interested in it. |
But the vita unfortunately isn't anyway near as good as a tablet/phablet at these tasks (the browser is slow .. but the backtouchpad scrolling it quite nice) and because there is hardly any 3rd party apps there is no way to improve it.
That's why I hoped that Sony would make it a double-boot device with android as second OS, as that would've made it far more versatile and a much easier buy to me. In the end I did pick it up (far below rrp), but only because I got a cheap 7" china tablet that is able to handle tasks other than gaming (like pdf reader/manga reader/ surfing/ painting/ media player that easily plays all my videos - even on TV).
On the other hand this might have made it easier to hack and traditional console/handheld publishers might fear the competition of ~$1 games and Sony the competition of the Google Play Store.
