There was a real lack of good reviews and detailed information concerning the Sony Mylo, which has led to a lot of confusion as to what the Sony Mylo is exactly and what it is capable of. I've had one for about 2 weeks now and decided to put up a review rich with images and Video clips of the Mylo in action, the parts of the Mylo you want to know about. Enjoy
There is definitely a strong bias against Sony in the majority of these comments. I like to try to keep an open mind when I see new products. We should take the Sony Mylo for what it is, its simply a portable multimedia wifi centric communication device. I think what majority of consumers are doing these days is buying in excess. Do we need 30GB worth of movies, keeping in mind that these movies will be encoded at 320x240 which takes significantly less data to store, you can fit 3-4 movies on 1GB memory using MP4 format. People fail to remember that with larger storage space comes problems, any device with moving parts is more likely to break. Flash based memory is more stable for portable devices which are prone to drops and bumps. Finally to the guy that was asking for Wifi g speeds, bigger isn’t always better, same with faster isn’t always better, this falls under the category of excess, IM and VOIP don’t use much bandwidth, so wireless g would be pointless and kills the batteries.
I'm an American, but I feel we are way behind on technology, mainly because the way we embrace new technologies or innovative products. Look at Asia, they adopted Skype pretty quickly, its quite popular in Asia, but here, we don't see the value in Skype. Even though it is the cheapest way to communicate, at 2 cents per minute being the average, and the possibility of free calling if you call another Skype user any where in the world. I for one am pretty psyched about the VOIP Skype in this product, it allows people that don't really need all that much mobility, and don't want to pay the higher price of landlines, its simply a cheaper solution.
Lets not be delusional people, there’s only so much technology you can pack into one portable device before it becomes well, not portable. Look at cellphones for example, even though they have tons of technology packed into them, mp3 player, camera, video recorder, internet, bluetooth, the list goes on, but if you've ever used these high end phones, you'll notice, they don't really have outstanding quality in any of those departments. The more technology you pack into portable devices the more quality of each feature suffers. My point is, I'm happy the Mylo has minimal features, but aimed at one specific audience, which keeps quality high and size small. Products that try to be everything to everyone are bound to fail, because we are all different, we have different needs, so try to understand that before you start shouting out that’s a dumb product just because it doesn't match your needs.
