The Fun of a PC in your Pocket: Sony mylo 2

It’s difficult to figure out what products the Sony mylo 2 is competing against. Is it the Archos? iPod? Zune? PCs? PDAs? There is no clear answer. Regardless it's a nice looking device with interesting features.

Sony advertizes the mylo 2 (which stands for "my life online") as a personal communicator with back-lit slide-out keyboard that uses Wi-Fi for communication, surfing the Web, instant messaging, and e-mailing. In addition, it features a 1.3 megapixel camera with built-in photo editing software.

Like the Archos, the mylo supports widgets. It comes with preinstalled COM-2 widgets like the Google search widget and the Facebook® Notifier. COM-2 users will be able to download new widgets from the new COM-2 product website. And, users will be allowed to register as developers in order to gain access to the technical resources they need to build their own widgets.

The mylo 2 plays music and video. Supported audio formats include MP3, ATRAC, WMA and AAC. COM-2 also supports Windows Media DRM 10. Supported video includes MPEG4 and MPEG4 AVC. Supported image formats include JPEG, PNG, and BMP.
