I'm probably going to pick up a Vita soon and was hoping to hear from some people that have one. Can someone give me a rundown of its features, particularly the ones you find to be the most useful? What do you find yourself using it for other than playing games?

I'm clever, vaguely feminine, a vampire, and I wield Dice. PH33R.
The 3DS and PSVita are both outstanding systems. Wally the Equality Weasel says so.

Thanks for the responses! It sounds like the Vita is capable of a lot of multitasking, which is awesome.

Alarm clock app with trophies. You don't need any more justification to buy a Vita than this.

It's okay at it, don't be thinking its like a smartphone or anything. You can't have the youtube app and a game running at the same time for example. The browser works though.

PS+ has paid it's self for me. So from here on out I will refer to any new games as free.
