Not all of the greatest PSP games (and even PS1 games) work on the Vita. Also, no comic book reader (though, at this point, no more comic book store, either). Aside from that, you can't really say too much that's bad about the Vita.

Example: I can't stream from website like di.fm, Grooveshark, and other adobe player sites. 

And that will never happen as Adobe basically conceeded that Flash is old tech and HTML5 is the future, hence they will not officialy support new platforms anymore. 

This is why adobe flash isn't on Android 4 (or won't be in 5) I forgot which as I don't use 4 myself so cannot confirm.

This is also why you will notice Wii U has no flash support.



 

 

Thanks for the info, my knowledge in smartphone tech is not very good. I did notice that when I arrive on some media streaming websites, I get the option to download the app for a particular smartphone, none of these can be used on the Vita. I get the feeling of being left out.

If it makes you feel any better - not even Android is supported by Adobe anymore. You still can download the old versions of the flash player (not from the store though), but Adobe officially stopped developing flash for Android, making the PC the only platform still supported by Adobe.

EDIT: OT: Currently I'd prefer the PSP over the Vita. CFW is just unbeatable IMO, Vita desperately needs one. Imagine PCSX2 on the Vita, I'd immediately buy it.

About the PSP CFW. I was hesitant to install it for the first year I ownedthe PSP, but when I realized that the community fixed the mayor lag in FFT: War of the Lions I felt no guilt installing a custom firmware on my handheld. Sadly, I think that CFW will ultimately end-up being best way to take advantage of PSV hardware capabilities.



CFW is definitely a big draw for the PSP. It's one of the reasons I picked up a new PSP instead of a Vita.

I'm just waiting for my memory card adapter to arrive, so I can dig into it. I bought a Lexar 32gb class 10 micro sd card and the MS Pro Duo adapter for about a quarter of the price a 32gb Vita memory card (overpriced!) costs, heh.

This is the PSP I bought. It looks very nice!

I had the psp and about 10 games it was cool.
But it cant compare to the vita.!......
