Unity 5 supports the Vita, goes free

Several recent projects have promised Vita versions if Unity support allowed. I guess we'll have to wait and see if this affects Vita development at all, with pretty limited crossover from mobile and main console projects still the order of the day, whatever the codebase. More on Gamasutra. If any devs would like to illuminate us on the possibilities, I'd be delighted.
