Normally I would say that all of these complaints are quite valid and nice to know, but if you're going to rant like a mad man you should at least read it over a couple of times before publishing. For example: "It comes close, but there are so many niggles, so many things that make using one frustrating that I've grown to loathe using it. " "There's also a five-second delay while the settings menu loads after click start." These sort of minor errors, as well as talking about how great Angry Birds is, really discredit your opinion.

Nice article, everything very well said. The Vita is sporting some impressive hardware for a portable, but with games like GTA III starting to trickle slowly onto phones I'm personally seeing less and less of a point to more dedicated gaming platforms like Vita.
