--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Claims
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. An electronic apparatus comprising: a circuit board; a housing which houses the circuit board; an electronic component housed in the housing and exposable in a direction along the circuit board from an opening formed in the housing; a cable arranged in the housing and extending in a direction along the circuit board from the electronic component; and a holder arranged along one surface of the circuit board, the holder including a component holder portion which holds the electronic component in a position offset from a position on the one surface of the circuit board in a thickness direction of the circuit board, the holder further including a cable holder portion which holds the cable.
2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the electronic component is positioned traversing a plane defined by the circuit board in the thickness direction of the circuit board.
3. The electronic apparatus according to claim 2, wherein a cutout is formed at an edge of the circuit board, and the electronic component is located inside the cutout.
4. The electronic apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising: a first circuit board; and a second circuit board arranged facing the first circuit board and functioning as the circuit board, wherein the cable holder portion has thickness smaller than entire thickness of the electronic component and the component holder portion and is arranged between the first circuit board and the second circuit board.
5. The electronic apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the component holder portion includes a portion located on an outer side of an outer edge of the circuit board and fixed to the housing.
6. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the cable holder portion is arranged covering an electronic component mounted on the circuit board and is attached to the circuit board.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] The present application claims priority from Japanese application JP2011-171287 filed on Aug. 4, 2011, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference into this application.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] 1. Field of the Invention
[0003] The present invention relates to a structure for supporting an electronic component provided to be exposable on the outer surface of an electronic apparatus.
[0004] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0005] United States Patent Application Publication No. 2007/0202956 discloses an electronic apparatus including a display screen on the front surface thereof. In the electronic apparatus, connectors for connecting the electronic apparatus to peripheral apparatuses are provided on the bottom surface and the side surfaces of a housing of the electronic apparatus. In some electronic apparatus of this type, connectors into which portable storage media can be inserted are provided on the bottom surface and the side surfaces of a housing of the electronic apparatus. The connectors are mounted on a circuit board and are exposable from the housing in a direction parallel to the circuit board.
I'd consider a Vita at $149
Gaikai Vita?
Sony needs to accept that the portable gaming landscape has changed since the PSP was released. Smartphones and iPhones are where the majority of people are going game on the go. The Vita is only attractive to a a niche market, most people couldn't give a damn about it and probably have never even heard of it.
This is neoGAF so obviously everyone here has! Releasing another Vita is a huge mistake IMO.
Strange thing is though that "new" design is remarkably similar to the Vita devkits. I do wonder what the USB port is for though. Seems kinda redundant.

Ambassador games please.
Right, the patent looks to be old. Some sites are still saying their "sources" are saying there will be a Vita revision. Sorry for the confusion.
The price cut is for the memory cards. I hope it tips a lot of fence-sitters as it's commonly cited as the reason for not buying one.
I really doubt this is true. Sony are losing money enmasse, they're share prices are awful, and even in Japan, the general consensus among the public is that Sony have lost their way and are now junk. The Vita already isn't selling, and its not because of the hardware, its a lack of software. Even when the Vita does sell, it sells at a loss, the Ps4 will likely also sell at a loss. They can't afford both as it is, nevermind another Vita also selling at a loss. If they're going to upgrade the Vita, they should replace the current one.
HDMI out + Dualshocks = WiiU doomednot really
No seriously if this thing has HDMI out I may actually get a Vita.
Bwahahahaha...the meltdowns will be glorious!!
add an internal HD and I'll buy another one...
And kill the memory card business, the only thing about the hardware they're actually making money with?
If they are willing to make a new model then at least we know that Sony is not about to abandon the thing any time soon.
An upgraded model for the same price is nice but its still not a price drop. The Vita already wasn't overpriced for the tech it was, its just that the price itself seems to have been a problem, and this doesn't fix it.

Oh wai......
Vita would be a horrible PS4 or PS3 controller. First of all it's missing buttons... and has no clicky sticks. The front and rear touch blows for remapping R2 and L2.
So if the new one comes with HDMI... then what's that other useless port at the top for!?
With the one year anniversary of the PlayStation Vita fast approaching in North America, sources (who have requested that we keep anonymous) have hinted at the possibility of an upgraded model coming sooner than most may have expected.
Although the credibility of this report comes into question by myself and my colleagues, these are the details nonetheless:
As stated before, this is a rumor and credibility comes into question, so take it with a whole pile of salt, if you would like; But it should be interesting if it really pans out. We will reach out to Sony to see if they have any comment on this.
- A new 4G model of the PlayStation Vita will be replacing the 3G model sometime this year. According to the source, this will be the so-called “price drop” that has been rumored for the Vita as the new model will retain the $299 price point for an upgraded system.
- The Wi-Fi version will still be available on the market for $249
- To go along with the 4G model, a significant firmware update will go live bringing in a lot of requested features including new ways to organize apps in folders.
- The new model may be unveiled along with the rumored PS4 this month at PlayStation’s February 20th event or at E3, but will not hit the market until later in the year.
- A price cut on memory cards will be made. No details on prices.
- According to the source, no other hardware changes will be made to the Vita and all other specs and features will remain the same. As for the 4G model, the regions where it will be available, in addition to info on any data plan pricing was not available.

Then have it support Memory Sticks.
