Sony’s Kazuo Hirai made the announcement a short while ago and revealed that there will be a WiFi model and a WiFi and 3G model available, no pricing details were given, however Sony has partnered with AT&T for the 3G access. The news of AT&T connectivity didn’t seem to go down too well with the E3 audience, however Hirai did state that you will also have access to 24,000 WiFi hotspots.

So far during the keynote we have seen three PlayStation Vita titles in action, these are Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Ruin and ModNation Racers, we have to say that Uncharted looks amazing and the range of controls available is impressive, also the lighting in the game is like nothing we have ever seen before on a handheld device.

Ruin is not just a Vita game, it is also coming to PS3 and both versions will feature something dubbed Continuous Client, this uses cloud storage to allow you to continue from where you left off on one machine and continue on the other.

Hopefully some videos will hit YouTube soon which show the PlayStation Vita in action, believe me you will not be disappointed! Sadly no price has been announced yet, therefore we will have to keep you posted.

A recent post on PlayStationLifestyle.net tells us that a website has been spotted which appears to confirm that the Sony NGP will be called the Vita, you can see the site for yourself here, the URL clearly shows “Vita” (http://vita.scedev.net/).

At first glance the website looks quite basic for such an established company, however there is all of the privacy and copyright information which we are used to seeing, We have done a bit of research and it looks like the Vita website is owned by Sony and was registered over 7 years ago.

To us it seems as if all of this confirms that the Sony NGP will be called the Sony Vita when it arrives later this year, however there is a small possibility that the Vita name was chosen but has since been scrapped. Hopefully all of this will be cleared up next week at E3 2011.

Since the first hearing rumors suggested that Sony’s next handheld will be called the Sony Vita we have seen lots of mixed reactions, therefore feel free to share your views on the name in the comments section below.

Do you think Vita is a suitable name?
