Vectrex Mini interview - David Oghia talks up the nostalgic vector powerhouse

Having been wowed by the news of the Vectrex Mini at Gamescom , I rushed off some questions to VectrexOn's main man  David Oghia . After a post-event, well earned, break, he's kindly given us a lot of detail about the project and some new images of the unit to share.  His story mirrors mine somewhat, Vectrex represents a glowing, unaffordable, obelisk of gaming power from our youth!

Sony Shows Off PS Vita's Web Browser and Media Player

There's also a video player, linked to the PSN and a photo player for all those shots you can take with the Vita's own cameras. All in all it looks like a decent bundle of apps. As long as they put more consistent development into them than Sony ever bothered with on the PSP.  

What with the social apps already announced, looks like the Vita can do everything a smartphone can bar the network calling.Those quirky little apps should also help give it a bit of street cred, but are largely just filler until the third-party apps from the phone makers can stream on over.
