We knew it was coming, but Sony’s new mylo 2 is actually more impressive than we dared expect. While like the original communicator device it still lacks a cellphone radio, leaving you at the mercy of its WiFi b/g connection, the rest of the spec sheet is positively glowing. The display is now a 4.5-inch 800 x 450 touchscreen, it has 1GB of internal memory and a 1.3-megapixel camera.
The coloured LEDs to indicate different events are still there, but now there’s Flash Lite 3 for online video (such as YouTube and Google Video), a Netfront-based browser, IM client (supporting AIM, Gtalk and Yahoo! IM), Skype, podcast client and RSS aggregator. Sony have also jumped on the widget bandwagon, with the mylo 2 compatible with web gadgets from Facebook, Google and more. As for media, it’ll play back WMA/PlaysForSure DRM, MP3, AAC, ATRAC and MPEG-4 files.
Connectivity is either USB 2.0 (with a standard mini-USB port) or WiFi, and Sony have agreed free Wayport WiFi at participating McDonald’s until December 31st, 2010.
The mylo 2 ships this month for $300.
Mylo + PSP – UMD + Bluetooth + Cellphone Radio = Perfect Device
Sony: Do it already and quit with the round trips.
Although, since they just launched this Mylo and the Psp slim not too long ago, it’s probably gonna take aw-hile to put it together… for the sake of sucking our pockets dry of course.
Ok i get it the mylo is a love or hate device but how bout the name? i know im not lovin it so how bout the Sony G.O.L.E.M? Get Online Like Easy Mac……..and there you go world cool and catchy let it spread like wild fire. USAEAM ~_0
