As many before me have wondered and dreamed, what would it be like if Sony decided to expand the Vita line to create an actual Vita phone and Vita tablet? The phone would once and for all silence all those who've complained about having to carry around their existing cell phones + the Vita, and the Vita tablet would allow for an even larger display to enjoy your Vita games on. Of course this would also involve porting the Vita OS over the phones and tablets, but people at Sony have already confirmed that the OS was designed with that in mind.

My question is how would these devices fare on the market in your opinion? What would their existance do for the Vita and for Sony as a whole? I'd guess them being around would likely lower Vita sales as they'll be competing directly with it, albeit at likely higher price points. Then again with more devices on the market to appeal to different users, Sony would also be expanding their userbase. If their intention is to expand their mobile presence by having the Vita OS on multiple devices, and using the Playstation Suite to expand their app selection then I think they would HAVE to create phone and tablet variants to help make it work.

If this is executed with compelling hardware (the Vita and their mobile phones are a great start) and the PS Suite does take off, I can see this being absolutely HUGE for Sony. It might even be enough to help them become a market leader rather than simply having them being competitive with their rivals as they are now.

So... thoughts on what this could mean for Sony?
