Enjoy your favorite online activities right under your thumbs. The mylo™ (My Life Online) personal communicator lets you stay connected with your friends from just about anywhere with instant messaging, web browsing, music, pictures and videos-all concentrated in the palm of your hand. All you need to do is connect to an open WiFi hotspot (802.11b) and you can, browse the web with the built-in HTML web browser. With the built-in Skype software you can reach out to any Skype user on any Skype-enabled device and talk for free. Mylo is also a music player that allows you to share your playlists and stream songs between two mylo devices. The mylo communicator features a full QWERTY keyboard, a vivid colorful screen and no monthly service fees, allowing you to IM, chat and share with your friends nonstop.

What's Up Screen
The unique What's Up screen is an at-a-glance overview of your choice of friends, showing who's available for IM or voice calling. The What's Up screen also displays what music is currently being played.

Instant Messaging
Reach friends on three of the fastest-growing instant messaging services: Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk and Skype. Use the Info button to switch among multiple IM conversations.

E-mail
Send and receive email with many of the most popular web mail clients: Yahoo! Mail ®, GMail™ and more. The slide-out QWERTY keyboard means you can type without the hassle of the repeated key-presses you'd need on the number keypad of the typical mobile device.

Web Browsing
The mylo communicator allows you to browse virtually any HTML website allowing you to scroll horizontally and vertically through the page, fit to the QVGA width of the communicator screen or you can zoom in to display web pages at full resolution or zoom out to fit pages to the width of the screen (50%-150%). Mylo communicator’s web browser is HTML not WAP like the browsers found on many portable devices.

Internet Voice Calls
Skype lets you enjoy free Internet phone calls to and from any Skype enabled device, anywhere in the world. Or SkypeOut to any phone number for a nominal fee.

Music

Perfect for multi-tasking, you can listen to music while you IM or surf the web. With Sony's Ad Hoc communication mode, you can share your play lists and stream songs directly between two mylo units--one at a time.

Video
Enjoy MPEG-4 personal videos on the color screen. View files from a Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media card (optional) or the devices internal memory transferred using Sony's Image Converter 2 software (optional).

Kind of, I can live with memory stick and 802.11b, but what the hell's that headset?

Weird device. Mediocre at 20 things, great at none.

Well, 8 hour video playback's pretty decent.

Similar to the N800, but with a full keyboard. Proprietary OS likely limits expansion.

Not bad traveling communicator for $100, when it is not necessary to lug around a lappy.

I agree medicore at best. BUT it's 1/3 the cost of competitors. Just depends what you are looking for, I didn't even know this product existed until now.

alert mods    

so it has everything except a cell phone??

Had one of these for all of two days.
Typical Sony product: developed by engineers for...engineers.
Not worth even at this price IMHO.
The newer model looks better but it's also more expensive.

For $100..I am in for one..Mp3,Mp4,IM,internet at 5.6 oz!

What they should have done is add a keyboard to the PSP. The PSP can do most of the things that mylo can do with the added benefit of games. It could have just been an incremental update (like the slim version) and it would have been much more popular than this thing.

no doubt Sony is too good on making customers life hell. I mean why the heack will someone proide a flat connector for headjack.

There is an adapter cable included that fits regular 2.5 mm headphones.
