According to Deeke those wireless cards are exclusively used for mobilde devices.
Tbh. I would buy a new revision. I still have a 8GB card, because I simply refuse to pay these prices.

My understanding was that the attach rate was phenomenal.
Maybe Sony will unveil it when we reach the OT2!

it was a slow start but it seems inevitable at this point that the vita will put nintendo out of business.

I hope for a new Vita.
Realistically, Its probably for a PS4 Slim model. NEO is next year now.

Idk I'm just guessing. I just can't believe Sony is doing anything for the Vita or even another handheld.

Oh man, if this is true, I'd be happy just because it exists.
However, it's going to be hard to sell something like this after how poorly they handled the original Vita. I'm sure they burned a lot of folks on that.
If NX is a handheld, that makes the odds even more against Sony.
Though part of me still wants this to be real.
I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. We need sarcasm tags.
PIFA's are used everywhere where you have a ground plane these days, it's a very common antenna type. Those antennas mentioned in that report also have very high gain (7.2 dBi for the Bluetooth antenna...) which seems unsuitable for a portable device. Since this is a certification for a module and not for a complete device those are likely placeholder antennas.Deeke[VRZ];213119379 said:
Omg Sony showing Nintendo how it's done by breaking the laws of physics!
This time is different
nintendo was planning to propose a strong hw being the only competitor on the field with a hdmi gimmick to propose a unified lineup to hide their exit from the home segment. They are putting all their eggs in one basket.
If Sony present a new more powerful handheld hw with better remote play functions exploiting an actual already existing ps ecosystem with cross buy, play and save...
They will ovwrshadow the nx to many target audiences

Explain the antenna form factor with the hardware that would require it then
Either the Slim is VERY small or we are getting a new portable

As the front page of GAF burns in the inferno of the No Man's Sky meltdown threads, suddenly this thread emerges to bring hope to the downtrodden.

What if Sony pulls a Nintendo and makes a tablet handheld Vita?
I think that the Wifi module is the only part that would have to be reviewed by the FCC, so that's all we know from this, could be other changes too, or it could be nothing.

Ok do any of the PS4 models use PIFA?
Those FCC filings should still be available and explicit
Either way you make good points and I think some PS4 used this antenna type
The only noted difference between the CUH-11XXA and the original CUH-10XXA model appears to be in its WLAN transceiver component (basically the Wi-fi part). While the basic specs are the same, the original Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA) has been replaced with an Inverted-F Antenna (IFA)."

If this will be an actual Vita successor, I will be there day 1 with buckets of money.

Just give me something resembling this:
yes, there is no way they'll make a new portable system
but what if they'll go with the ps4neo strategy and just release the same psvita but with better specs
i can't think of any other way to keep psvita library alive (if they care about it)

Looks like Sony is releasing a QOL device that analyses your sleeping data in the cloud.
But really, if it *is* a new handheld I'd expect it to be an iterative extension on the Vita like the New 3DS. Sony simply doesn't have the resources to do a whole new platform launch with Neo and PS VR on the agenda, and the amount of money it'd cost to launch a whole new platform with its own new storage medium and marketing and so on just wouldn't be worth it.
But if it is a new PS Vita model, it could either be a form factor update, like the Vita-2000 or 3DS XL, or it could be a more powerful "New Vita" using the same hardware architecture like I mentioned earlier in the thread, complete with its own chassis update too. Much like the New 3DS was.
But for it to be a reality, developers would have known about it for a while now like they have NEO - they need to have some sort of hardware spec to target for their upcoming Vita games or cross platform ports, and we'd have heard about it until now. So I say it's unlikely.

It's probably just the WiFi chip being used in Neo or something else.

Sony is HIGH AS FUCK if this a new Vita. Though that would make for super interesting competition if this is some sort of handheld attachment to the Neo that's launched before the NX.

I want to believe. The Vita deserves better than it's getting.

Okay. The form factor is a PS4.
Sony switched from PIFA to IFA antenna to cut costs in 2014, before switching to using less sticks of GDDR5 RAM in the 2015 "C" chassis model among other things.
My guess is the Wireless is changing again this time around - the new PS4 NEO model is probably getting a PIFA 5Ghz module, for optimal streaming the performance, given NEO is the high performance model. And the standard PS4, slim or not, will be getting another revision like the two I listed above. A minor revision that swapped PIFA for IFA occurred in 2014, after all, and it's likely the base PS4 will change once more from 2014's revision and 2015's "c" chassis revision.
I still doubt this would be handheld but I think those chips should be released to the U.S.
I mean why do they have to apply to FCC if they aren't going to sell it over there?

Well, Sony is no strange to launching niche products to the market. They used to do it all the time.
It wouldn't surprise me if they feel they can make a Vita revision without much investment just to sell to the current audience.

If it's another handheld I swear I won't make fun of #4theplayers ever again.
It would be nuts for them to do this but I would soooooo love them for it.

If this is a vita successor I am in. No question, I love their handhelds.
I'll be at store opening day 0 if it's got BC to the existing vita content.
If it is a more powerful refresh of the existing property, then I may have to think about it.
I love handhelds, Both my 3DS and Vita get more playtime than anything else I own. I take one of them everywhere with me.

I find it very difficult to believe Sony will release another Vita / handheld

Lol, no way, don't do this to me!!
It'll be some last new revision at best, but it can't be VitaNeo, not in this timeline...
(Hype for this event just raised a little though)
