Sony is one of the companies that trying to figure out this whole convergence problem – how to get more (or all) of our various portable electronic gadgets down into just one thing. The Mylo (a.k.a. My Life Online) gives you Wi-Fi connectivity for surfing the Web, Instant Messaging and checking/sending e-mail, audio, photo and video playback, and even a Skype client for VoIP phone calls. Featuring 1 GB of flash memory, a 2.4-inch LCD display with a 320 x 240-pixel resolution (QVGA), the Mylo has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, an embedded microphone and speaker, Memory Stick slot (PRO Duo) slot, and a USB 2.0 port. Here’s what I thought was cool – Sony partnered with Google and Yahoo to give you Gmail and Yahoo Mail on the Mylo; I really wonder how well Gmail (or even Yahoo’s new web mail app) works on this handheld.
