Chris Davies, Nov 12th 2008 Discuss [0]

Is the Sony mylo 2 WiFi communicator due for a replacement or, more simply, the axe? They're two obvious possibilities, as Sony scythe a third of the price from the mobile messenger, down from $299.99 to $199.99 at the company's official store. Read The Full Story

VTech IS6110 Instant Messenger DECT phone review

Chris Davies, Jul 17th 2008 Discuss [0]

Landline phones have taken a pounding from cellphones these past few years; people expect their handsets to come packed with features, and beyond DECT digital cordless and a built-in answerphone the humble landline couldn’t really compete. Now it’s either aim budget or add tech to justify your price-tag: VTech want $99.95 for their IS6110 cordless phone, and to make it worth your while they’ve thrown in instant messaging, a color screen and a QWERTY keyboard. SlashGear has been doing more than the usual amount of online chatting to see whether it’s enough.

Digitalcube i-station UDIC hands-on

Chris Davies, Apr 29th 2008 Discuss [1]

Digitalcube's i-station UDIC may look like a mini-convertible UMPC, but in actual fact it's an electronic dictionary. Still, that doesn't really do the handheld device justice: it's a dictionary with 50 languages, as well as text-to-speech, "native speakers" pronunciation guides and the i-TRANS translating service. Available in two versions, both have hard-drives: one 30GB, the other 60GB. AVING have been playing with the i-station recently and have made a video of the device in action; check it out after the cut. Read The Full Story

Mylo Widgets coming to the COM-2 today

James Allan Brady, Feb 26th 2008 Discuss [1]

Sony has finally created a site where they’ll be releasing widgets for the Mylo personal communicator. They started with 5 on the site for now, and they’ll be adding more, but the exciting part is that if you are feeling generous you can create your own and post them on the site too.

CES 2008: Sony mylo 2 personal WiFi communicator

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. The display is now a 4.5-inch 800 x 450 touchscreen, it has 1GB of internal memory and a 1.3-megapixel camera. Read The Full Story

Sony working on new version of Mylo

Tamara Lapiers, Dec 17th 2007 Discuss [1]

Will it be a Mylo 2? Or are they just going to sneak in the new features of WiFi and a Camera? There isn’t much info, but other than the camera revealed from the diagrams and the 802.11g WiFi from the wireless testing, there doesn’t appear to be much else different from the original.

Google Mobile Maps update adds Virtual-GPS

Chris Davies, Nov 29th 2007 Discuss [1]

Google have released an update to their Maps for Mobile application, which brings Assisted-GPS to handsets which lack hardware GPS receivers. Called "My Location", it triangulates a user's position via proximity to cell towers, plotting estimated position on a map downloaded via the phone's data connection. Check out a video of the app in action, after the cut... Read The Full Story

Great Sony Mylo review

Chris Davies, Oct 27th 2006 Discuss [0]

This is possibly the best review of the Sony Mylo I've seen so far - incredibly detailed and covering all aspects of the IM-centric handheld's functionality. If you're thinking of buying one then you really need to read this! Written by someone who admits to be outside of the target demographic, the review is all the better for it; $350 is a lot of money that will never be subsidised by a carrier since it relies on WiFi rather than in-built cellular.

LAPTOP Magazine gets touchy-feely with Mylo

Chris Davies, Sep 9th 2006 Discuss [0]

Sony would love its tween-friendly Mylo handheld to rule the roost of pocket-friendly mobile devices, happily labelling it "My Life Online". Just as long as your online life is near a handy WiFi network, eh? The good people over at LAPTOP Magazine have emptied their slacks of keys, spare change and dubious business cards to give the miniature messenger a good real-world spanking. Their conclusions? Well, not wishing to steal their thunder but I don't think it's too surprising that viewing graphics-laden sites like MySpace (after all, kids don't look at anything else online than MySpace any more, do they) isn't particularly successful on a 2.4 inch display.

Sony Mylo comes out

Chris Davies, Sep 1st 2006 Discuss [0]

They're lucky buggers over at Engadget. Not only is each member of their team blessed with beauty, grace and impecable table manners, they even have a pre-production Sony Mylo to play with. A WiFi alternative to the Sidekick, the Mylo is a slick little devil with a slide-out keyboard and ultra crisp display. The photos also give an idea of how the packaging will look, confirming that it will support Skype voice calls and Google and Yahoo IM. Hands-on with the Sony Mylo [Engadget]

mylo’s running Linux

Vincent Nguyen, Aug 10th 2006 Discuss [0]

The mylo – short for “My Life Online” came out of nowhere and took all of us by surprised. There’s now more info revealing more of Sony’s new handheld communicator. We now know that it’s powered by an unknown version of embedded Linux possibly from Wind Rivers, while the graphics and application development framework is based on Trolltech’s Qtopia Platform. It’s also possible that the Java Virtual Machine will allow developers to create third-party apps for the mylo – this alone should help increase its popularity. Even though it lacks cell phone capabilities, there are plenty of other features such as support for VoIP, instant messenger (Google Talk, Skype, and Yahoo!), along with support for MP3s, ATRAC, WMA, and MP4 video. Unlike the Nokia 770, the mylo sports a slide out keyboard making it convenient for all the texting activities. It’s too damn bad that the $350 price tag doesn’t even give native support for AIM and Live Messengers. Read The Full Story
