Do not hack the Vita.
Hacking the Vita to poo poo would be its final nail in it's coffin.

Do you actually want the Vita to be a success? Then don't hack it, giving the people the method to pirate games, and buy games for it.
The reason the PSP sucks so much in the West is because so many people hacked it, and as a result bought no games for it.

While this is true, it's also true that Sony didn't provide an outlet for homemade applications for it. If Sony want to avoid the piracy and encourage homebrew coders they need to provide a platform and well.. as far as I know there isn't one for the Vita. Same goes for customization.

Portable devices should have the ability to be customized - just look how rampant theming was for the PSP - and most of the original work that came out of it (a lot from folks here in the void) was amazing. Again, a shame Sony don't seem to be accommodating users in that respect too.

The best thing wee can hope for I suppose is that it doesn't go further than User Mode hacks (a HEN will do fine). That said.. no theming with just User Mode...
