With Facebook, Netflix And More, The PS Vita Is *Nearly* A Tablet Alternative

I've enjoyed the PS Vita for a couple of weeks now. It's a fun device, but as John describes in our review, it feels like the last of its kind. Single function devices are no longer relevant and as much as Sony tried, the Vita is still pretty much a dedicated gaming handheld. The company launched an app store for the Vita today, which folds Facebook, Netflix, Twitter, and Flickr apps into the Vita's ecosystem. With these apps, along with the powerful hardware and 3G connectivity, the $249 Vita could be a good alternative to a traditional tablet. The only thing it's missing is a proper web browser.
