Sony’s PS Vita is about to debut in US on February 22. Apparently, to celebrate the anticipated event with style, Sony has introduced a number of quite useful updates to the device for users in Japan where it has already been released. The new updates include the ability to shoot a high-quality MP4 video, a Content Manager app, a useful update to the maps and multiple power status lights to indicate the exact state of the device’s overall power.
With this new update, a user can now shoot a MP4 video at 640*480 resolution. It it complemented with an audio-recording support till 128 Kbps. Although this is definitely not as good as HD quality video, it will still come out pretty neat given Sony’s superior mobile sensors.
A very part of this update is the ‘Content Manager’ app. This app lets a user save up a back-up of your device’s data on a computer. It also allows easy data transfer between PS Vita and a computer and lets you run system updates.
An update for the maps on PS Vita now allows for the ability to view details of locations on a map. These details include phone numbers, addresses and many other details when you select a particular location. You can also now send your own location to your friends through the feature of group messaging.
A useful feature that this update brings is the multiple status lights which indicate the status of the device’s power. For instance, when you are plugged in directly to a power source, this is indicate by a blue light. The standby mode is indicated by a flashing blue light. A slow blue blink indicates that there are unread message or information waiting for you. When the device is powered off and charging, this is indicate by an orange light.
