Sony Computer Entertainment America is set to release two new apps for North American Vita owners this spring.

The first is Friend Network, a social networking app which lets you interact with your friends via avatars in a virtual world. “With the ultimate goal of reaching 100 friends within Friend Network, lobbies are available where players can meet new friends and exchange virtual “business cards.” These cards contain information that players can use to get to know others within Friend Network,” Sony explains.

The second app, Imaginstruments, is a music -making app which is already available in Europe. “Players can create whole songs from scratch and save them to on PS Vita memory cards. Using three distinct song creation tools, players can compose a virtually endless amount of unique music. Players can edit drum tracks in the “Passive” mode to create complex rhythms for their tracks, then switch over to “Active” mode to create melodies using instruments like the guitar or violin,” says Sony.
