Sony have just announced the Playstation Vita and it's got us very excited, it boasts a 5-inch OLED touchscreen which will dish out a maximum resolution of 960×544 pixels. The 5" OLED screen will provide bright and vivid colours, as well as a great resolution – Sony is obviously wanting you to enjoy the same experience as you’d get at home playing on your massive HD TV but that's plugged in to the mains.

You get a pair of analogue sticks which should ease the craving for your home console when away, but it’s that touch-sensitive area on the back of the Vita which opens up new dimensions. When you reach around the back of the Vita and your fingers will find its sensitive side, this matches the displays size and works pretty much the same as a laptop trackpad.

The Vita is also rammed with other goodies. The handheld gamer gets front and rear cameras and a bunch of internal sensors so that its ready for all manner of augmented-reality fun!

With all this power and that stunning 5" screen you are going to need some protection, we will have the best cases, covers, skins and chargers as soon as they are available, so why not bookmark us and come back closer to release day to see the full range.
