Chris Davies, Jan 7th 2008 Discuss [3]

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.
