Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Has many entertainment/communication features
Cons: Opera Browser is not fully featured
Opinion:
I've had the Mylo for about 2 weeks now and wrote up a full review.

http://spicygadgetroll.blogspot.com/2006/09/sony-mylo-review-part-1.html

For the most part I'm happy with the device, it appears much smaller than the photos led me to believe. The GUI can get a tad sluggish at times depending on how many different things you are doing at once, but nothing that kills usability. The browser does a very good job making use of what space it does have on the 2.4 inch screen with the Opera Browser reformatting for webpages, but sadly it lacks flash support which was a big one for me. I won't rehash everything I said in the review here, hope you guys enjoy the in depth review.

A product released a bit too early

Aug 17, 2006

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Integrated Wifi and Software
Cons: Basically useful only in hotspots
Opinion:
I think SONY is moving in the right direction in this one. However at the moment it just wont be appealing too many people, not until free wi-fi hotspots become more widespread. I beleive this is targetted at students more as most campuses offer good coverage, however this device better allow access to protected networks if that is the case. As for not including a gsm option... SONY is brave ... or fooldhardy in that aspect I think. Perhaps with a lower Price tag and more support for wireless networks this product would be a 10 in my book.

No reason to buy this gadget

Aug 16, 2006

Rating: 4 out of 10 (Mediocre)
Pros: Design
Cons: No phone, no camera, 16k screen for an entertainment device.
Opinion:
If you see the Mylo as a PDA, features like wifi and keyboard is totally underused as it the Mylo does not have any office software like outlook. Software like Skype, and many other useful applications are readily available for Windows Mobile devices. I wonder if it has a browser; and even if it has one, 320x240 surfing is a real hassle.

See it as an entertainment device, the screen resolution and internal memory is less than its counterparts, one of them being the formidable Zen Vision. 16 bit colour is a disappointment.

I will only consider buying this if it actually sells cheaper than the Zen vision (now at abt 550sgd, after almost a year since its release). IMO unless anybody feels that carrying this (yet another device) is a great way of exercising, there is no reason why this thing should be on your buying list.
