My Take
Being a big fan of PSM, I download a lot of games and have hit the 100 app limit several times. I’m glad to know that I’ll be able to keep all my Vita games on there at once. I probably won’t use the calendar app, but I do like having that manage content feature and the voice messages at my disposal.
UPDATE – It looks like more information was divulged in the Japanese and European posts:
- PlayStation Mobile games can now be played on PS Vita TV.

- Vita handhelds can use Bluetooth keyboards.
- In supported PSone games, the PocketStation functionality can now be brought up during gameplay sessions, for picture-in-picture usage. Additionally, you can now display PocketStation serial numbers.
- In a Group Message consisting of more than three people, the title can now be edited.
- Parental Controls can now restrict PlayStation Store access. Additionally, the Web Browser now supports TrendMicro security.
- Music – You will now be able to search for content saved on a connected device such as a PC.
