Sony has announced new applications for the PlayStation Vita handheld console. The developers have identified three topics for their programs: ecology, music and travel. All applications will be distributed free of charge and should be available to users in the near future.
In Ecolibrium, users will be asked to create and maintain their own ecosystem. All inhabitants will live according to the principle of "digestion chain". If it is violated, then the user will have to look for various ways to save endangered species. Players will be able to trade their specimens with other PS Vita owners.
The Imaginstruments app is a music creation tool. Users will be able to select one or more musical instruments to create their own composition. The application has an intuitive clear interface and allows you to share your written music with your friends.
It is unlikely that new free content will lead to improved sales of the handheld console, which was already expecting a big drop in demand just a week after its successful launch. Sony is expected to announce a PS Vita price cut during E3 2012.
(PSV) is a whole entertainment complex in your pocket. Music, photos, games and much more will delight you every day after purchasing this miracle device from Sony Computer Entertainment.
You can sync your PS Vita handheld game console with your computer.
An important point in operation will be the synchronization of the portable console and PC ( personal computer) - this is necessary for the exchange and transfer of information between them. There is nothing complicated in connecting them to each other, all you need is a PC, PS Vita, a USB cable (usually included) and the Content Manager Assistant for PlayStation program. Please note that your handheld console must be running the latest firmware.

Step 3
The next step is to prepare the material for duplication. In order for your pictures, music, etc. to be displayed on the device, they must be placed in the appropriate categories of the Libraries directory. You can see these folders on the left side of any open window. Simply put, if you need to transfer music from your computer to the console, then the audio files should be placed in "Libraries" -> "Music". Place the files you need to upload to PSV in the appropriate folders.
Step 4

Copying files from PS Vita to a computer
Copying from a portable set-top box to a computer is carried out using the same program - Content Manager Assistant for PlayStation. The first thing to do is to connect Vita to the PC via a wire. Then go to "Data Management" on PSV and mark the data you need to duplicate to a computer. Click the "Copy" button and wait for the procedures to complete. Done, files copied successfully.

The process of connecting the console to a laptop is no different from connecting it to a PC.

The last thing we would like to draw your attention to:

- As stated above, make sure you are running the latest firmware on your PSV before using it.
- Objects to be transferred from one device to another must be placed in the appropriate categories of the Library catalog. PS Vita will not see them if they are located elsewhere.
