PS Vita 2000 Getting Component Changes as Revealed by FCC Certification

The Federal Communications Commission has just [URL='https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=XL0HYIDkkx8485lXmmjr5g%3D%3D&fcc_id=AK8PCH2001']published its certification for a Class II permissive change for the PS Vita 2000 model (PCH-2001).[/URL]

According to the report, compared to the one published for the original in 2013, the hardware version has been evolved from 2.0 to 2.2, and the change subject of the re-certification is the following:

Antenna and non-transmitter circuit changed from the original device.

We notice that the manufacturer of the LAN adapter is now Foxconn, while the original model had its LAN component manufactured in-house by Sony. The antenna gain for Bluetooth has also been changed from -2.1 dBi to 0.73 dBi.

Below you can see the specs of the new iteration compared with the original.

This change is possibly part of a reduction in manufacturing costs, but one thing is for sure: considering the fact that Sony is still working on evolving the PS Vita, they don’t seem to have any intention to abandon their portable console, as some argued in the past due to the not exactly stellar performance in western markets.

I guess Sony still has at least a little belief left in their $200 paper weight

Sony has never been able to get 2nd screen connectivity working properly on playstation.
The Divison, playing with your bros via your tablet? Good luck with that on your iPad
They hope to whore out the Vita in the same fashion as Nintendo is whoring out their controller with the screen

And with the sony stanbase being as dumb/starvedOUT as they be, of course it will get the hype it doesn't deserve. Did you know Killzone had the most preorders in console launch history? The hunger is real bruh
Vita is

What they need to do is stop with the proprietary memory card BS.
