It looks interesting to me and a fresh start which keep up with smartphone age. it handle multitasking in very well too.
The XMB is really one of the best minimalisitc & sophisticated UI out there, but too old now... maybe with later updates they will try to mix the two style.
Touch based UI is really easier and more intuitive than XMB, especially if they want to target wider audience and casuals.
To test this , try to give a 2-3 years old kid a smartphone/iPod for the 1st time. ...in few minutes they quite know the basics and how to find and launch games.
Now give them a PSP...they will just lose interest before they can figure it out.
I'm not saying that Vita is designed for kids or should be given to kids, no. just to point out that ease of use is what made iPhone become relevant on this age even though smartphone was old concept with windows mobile 6 and Symbian but they were not intuitive to use for casual people.
