Sony has trademarked the names PSVita and PlayStation Vita, which is the rumoured final name for the company's new handheld - known to date as the NGP.
The news broke on NeoGAF with user M.D posting a link to the trademark registration and a logo that clearly fits with the PlayStation brand.
We'll find out for sure during Sony's E3 conference held tomorrow morning at 1am BST.

I'm calling that this is not related to the new hand held but is for something else.

Typing "Vita" into Google translate. It comes back as an Italian word meaning "Life". Sounds plausible

It does sound a little silly but gamers will be calling it the PSV anyway.
Or if you've watched too much Fonejacker, the Pussve.

Could it be Sony's version of 'WiiFit' to be used with the Move?
