The New Sony Mylo Personal Communicator

by Ian Rowan on January 8, 2008 at 04:40 PM


The new Sony mylo personal portable communicator recently debuted with a host of new features, added functionality, and redesigned form factor. Specifically designed for the texting teenager (AIM, GoogleTalk, and Yahoo Messenger), the new mylo is also set up for social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace, and Friendster as well as direct uploads to content sites like YouTube and other Adobe Flash based websites. The QWERTY keyboard is revealed when you slide the 3.5 inch touchscreen up and you are connected via open Wi-Fi 802.11/b and /g networks (and for those who purchase soon Wayport hotspots in 9,000 McDonalds will be free until 2010).

The mylo communicator also features a 1.3 megapixel (MP) camera along with on-board photo editing capabilities so that your profile picture looks just right for Facebook. And like the new PlayStation Portable, the mylo also comes with Skype installed for free calls to your friends.

When you're not around a Wi-Fi hotspot you can listen to music on the mylo's 1 GB internal memory or the Memory Stick Duo (up to 8 GB) as well as play the pre-loaded and downloadable Flash based games.

The Sony mylo will be out this month and available for $300 from SonyStyle.com and stores nationwide.
