woot... got thread already.... ... won't be joining the community early... want to see the market... hopefully it will be like PSP acceptance...

Backtracking on comments it made earlier this month, Sony is now saying the PlayStation Vita will allow only one PSN account per unit.

Wired first reported that Sony said users could switch memory cards in order to use multiple PSN account IDs on a Vita handheld. Now that doesn't appear to be the case.

“[The] PSN account is tied to the hardware and the memory card, not just the card,” a Sony representative told Wired, “which means that if a second person is using your Vita, it’s not just a case of switching out memory cards, it’s clearing out all of your saved data on the Vita itself when you do the factory reset.”

“In other words, PlayStation Vita is intended to be played by only one user." Game Informer followed up with Sony for additional clarification and received the following statement:

"Like PSP, PS Vita is intended to be played by only one user as a personal portable entertainment system," SCEA said. "As such, the spec is set so that only one PSN account will be connected to one PS Vita hardware."

Sony has corrected its previous statements about the Vita's ability to support multiple PSN accounts, again. Contradicting what we'd been told before, a PSN account is not merely tied to a memory card, Sony told Wired. It's tied to both the card and the system.

That means that switching accounts is not as simple as it sounded. "If a second person is using your Vita," a Sony rep told Wired, "it's not just a case of switching out memory cards, it's clearing out all of your saved data on the Vita itself when you do the factory reset."

You're extremely unlikely to be willing to completely flash your Vita every time you want to switch accounts, so you can go ahead and forget about keeping separate US and Japanese PSN accounts, for example. And the Vita just became slightly less useful.

was  hoping psv can be used to make 3g calls and do non-gaming apps like ms office reader.

might as well go get a tablet pc..
this is a handheld gaming device, not a tablet.lol

Well having something like that is one way to convince casual consumer to pick a PSVita over an iPad. else PSVita will only appeal to hardcore gamer only and frankly, that is not that big of a market.

They already started with twitter, foursquare, facebook and skype app. I'm sure there will be more apps in the future.
