Sony's Little Mylo Internet Communicator Challenges Nokia 770

Table of contents

The first page of MobilityGuru's July 2006 review of Nokia's 770 WiFi powered Internet based communicator was titled "In A Class Of Its Own." One Month later the title is no longer correct. With its Mylo (for My life online) personal communicator Sony joins the battle for the hearts, minds and pocketbooks of people whose major means of communication is instant messaging and Web based phone calling.

The Sony Mylo, not the Sony PSP with a slide-out keyboard. Really!

Both the Nokia 770 and Sony Mylo support instant messaging, Internet browsing, listening to music, watching videos, email, Internet phone services and photo storage and viewing. Like the 770 the Mylo lacks standard wireless (cell) phone capability, because it's built for Internet oriented users.

Sony's Mylo Hands-On

Sony worked with a number of partners to provide features for the Mylo. These include:

Partner Features
Yahoo Messenger (Internet Messaging) and Mail
Google Gmail, Google Talk (Internet Voice Calling)
Skype Internet Voice Calling, Instant Messaging
JiWire WiFi Hotspot Locator Service
