Twitter fanatic that has a gamer in heart, keep your eyes open, because the upcoming Sony PS Vita will arrive with an integrated Twitter app! Say what? Yes, Twitter app is being worked on right now in Sony’s lab, and although the app is still incomplete, it will most certainly ship with the console solidly.

The overall design feels very much in line with Twitter’s standard ID: the same shade of blue, the usual tabs on the left column, slick elastic scrolling in the timelines, and support for geotagging, hash tags plus photo attachment while tweeting.

The app wasn’t quite finished yet, and Sony still couldn’t confirm whether this — along with the other dedicated apps like Skype, Foursquare and Facebook — will be ready for download by the time the Vita launches in Hong Kong on December 23rd (just a tad later than Japan’s launch on the 17th).

In case you’re wondering, the Vita there will cost HK$2,280 (US$290) for the WiFi version and HK$2,780 (US$360) for the 3G flavor, both unsubsidized but cheaper than their Japanese counterparts. Of course, given that the console isn’t region-locked, feel free to go for some shopping in Hong Kong then – and good luck getting your hands on one though.
