Palm Pre and Palm Pixi Information
Interested in Palm? Want to know more about webOS, the Pre or the Pixi? Not to worry because Gadgetell's got the latest news and information right here.
Sony has recently begun selling the mylo under a slightly different name, the COM-2 will no longer be know as a “personal communicator,” but instead will be the Sony mylo Internet Device.
The new name makes sense, as it seems to better represent what the mylo actually is. The original COM-1 focused more on instant messaging, however thanks to the improved web browsing experience and direct YouTube uploads the COM-2 offers more of a complete Internet experience.
Keeping in mind that even though the new “Internet Device” name does make more sense, I cannot help to think that “personal communicator” always sounded a little funny, even if the device was intended for those “who use instant messaging as a primary form of communication and networking for their social life.”
While the new name may help to spur some sales, the biggest barrier seems to be the price tag, at $300 its a little expensive, especially considering lots of people can get these same features from low-cost notebooks and even plenty of mobile phones nowadays.
