Sony Mylo for trendy urbanites

by XXSteve Farkas on Dec 14, 2006 at 07:47 PM

Sony MyloIn January, two of my best friends are traveling to Europe. One friend is backpacking around the continent with no specific plans, and the other is studying as a foreign exchange student in Wales. Both friends have gigantic powerhouse laptops. What is the end-all gadget for people who won’t want to carry around their laptops, but need portable communication with friends overseas? A cell phone? No, too expensive. A Mylo!

Okay, at $350, the Mylo isn’t cheap, but it offers some very unique features:

  • Skype, Google Talk, and Yahoo Messenger
  • Opera web browser
  • 320x240 2.4” screen
  • 802.11b Connection
  • Slide-out Querty Keyboard
  • fText Editor
  • Support for Atrac3, WMA, and MP3
  • Support for JPEG images and MPEG4 video playback

Thoughts: the Skype connectivity almost makes this a viable phone replacement, and the ability to avoid lugging around a laptop all the time seems like a great idea. I do think a built-in camera would be nice, though, as well as more storage.
