At the AT&T Dev Summit this morning, the large phone carrier announced the price structure for the 3G data plans to be offered to owners of the PlayStation Vita who have spent the extra $50 for the 3G-enabled version of the handheld device.

Announced on their twitter, AT&T put forth that for $14.99, you can use 250MB of data, while $25 will afford you 2GB. The best part of this announcement is that both plans will come to you contract-free. That's right, no contracts to sign, which is surprising to me, especially since this is AT&T. I wonder if any of this is fallout from the crowd reaction given during the PlayStation Press Conference during last year's E3. The audible groan from the crowd at the reveal of AT&T's 3G involvement was palpable.

While this announcement may improve some of the pre-order situation for the PlayStation Vita 3G model, I remain skeptical that any true use of 3G for the Vita will be useful.
