When you’re not browsing your favorite news, sports, weather and financial Websites with mylo’s built-in HTML Web browser, reach out to any Skype®-enabled device and place free Internet phone calls. Mylo is also a music player that plays back MP3, ATRAC® and secured and unsecured WMA formats. Share your playlists and stream songs between two mylo devices with Sony’s Ad Hoc communication mode. In addition to a Hotspot Locater which directs you to nearby locations offering Internet access, view and share MPEG-4 videos and JPEG pictures on mylo’s colorful screen. Source: Sony

Its a $350 IM/VOIP device that uses Wifi.

$350.

It doesnt support the 2 biggest IM services, MSN or AIM.

Congrats Sony, you just invented a shitty, expensive cell phone.

Wannabe sidekick?

The d-pad's on the wrong side and the button in the middle of it makes it worthless anyway. Why?


Plays back ATRAC? As in the digital recording multitrack standard you record to Super VHS tapes? Bizzare.

Sony's always gotta do their own thing. Geez.

Nope ATRAC is the compression sceme used on MiniDisc, and was the only format originally supported by thier first attempt at a Hard-disc based media player. Somewhere someone at Sony still hopes that ATRAC will overcome MP3 as the dominate compression format.
