I also question how you could link up Vita and PS3 in a way that would not result in the kind of lag you see with remote play.
Remote Play between PS3 and PSP uses 802.11b. Remote Play between PS3 and PS Vita could conceivably use 802.11g, which is much faster. If you're talking about "within your house" Remote Play (similar to the way Wii U works with its controller), then this would result in better video quality with
far less lag than the current PSP implementation.

well remote play isn't really a big deal when the games on the handheld look just as good as the PS3 games would look downscaled to it's screen anyway, but I'm thinking more of games being made for PS3 that work with the Vita for things like looking around the game world & using the touch controls with the main game still on your TV.
also like I was saying before the Vita & PS3 might work together instead of the PS3 sending a downscaled video over wireless b like with the PSP they could be doing the processing on the PS3 & rendering it on the Vita
That's entirely possible.
For those who are having difficulty understanding, what this means is that the PS3 game would transmit a small executable to the PS Vita, and then some small amount of data (not a full video stream) would be communicated between the PS3 and the PS Vita. Games like SingStar on the PS3 already support this kind of functionality with a PSP--you can create a playlist on PSP while the PS3 game is in session. I believe some of the Guitar Hero games on the Wii also do something lsimilar with the DS.
If want blind play selection in a football game, or looking at your map/inventory in an adventure game, this solution would work very nicely.
