I have been playing with the Sony Mylo Persoal Communicator for several hours now. I was attracted to this because I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. The screen resolution was so sharp when I first turned it on, I was taken aback. I honestly thought there was a sticker on the screen making it look that way at first.

The Wi-Fi Sony® mylo® internet device gives you what need to stay connected. It conveniently uses wireless LAN technology so there are no monthly bills or long-term contracts. Call your friends on Skype® for free or IM them on AIM®, Google Talk™, or Yahoo!® Messenger using the back-lit slide-out keyboard and enjoy unparalleled communication in the palm of your hands. You can also browse the Web, take photos and share them on the 3.5-inch LCD touch screen. All this on a device small enough to take virtually anywhere. Sony® mylo®, the fun of a PC in your pocket. Also available in white.

Now you can capture video using the built in camera to capture video in MPEG4 in addition to capturing still images. There are many websites where you can upload photos and videos like Flickr™ and YouTube™ as well as social networking websites. Because our device supports uploading and downloading files mylo® Internet Device owners can post content to many of these popular content websites.

A widget is a small application that is generally designed to do one simple thing but to do it really well. COM-2 comes with several pre-installed widgets that range from basic like the Google search widget and the Facebook® Notifier that tracks activity on your Facebook page to more advanced apps like the My Contacts widget that works as a consolidated buddy list for all the IM applications on the mylo. In addition to the preinstalled widgets COM-2 users will be able to download new widgets from the new COM-2 product website. And, for the first time, users will be allowed to register as a developer in order to gain access to the technical resources they will need to build their own widgets.

Use your Mylo to browse the Web, use Instant Messengers, take pictures, listen to ShoutCast radio, and even call someone on Skype. There’s just so much you can do with this little gadget, you will wonder why you used to lug around a laptop.

If you already have a PSP, you’ll probably want to stick with it. However, if you’re in the market for a mobile device like this, the Sony Mylo is the way you should go. The screen is very crisp, and honestly amazing. The Mylo works very well for everything you’d probably need to do on the go.
