Sony Mylo - Anyone have one or used one?

sbddude · 05-23-07, 05:23 PM

I don't know if this is considered a PocketPC, but anyway...

Does anyone have any experience with one? I get to evaluate one and I am trying to decide how (if at all) it is any better than my X51v. All I can think of is they keyboard.

Any opinions good or bad are appreciated.

too bad it has lower screen resolution than the x51v. But it does look good, a fold out keyboard and 45 hours audio playback and 8 hours video, if I read correctly.

Its not a PDA, its more of a Wi-Fi communicator or a media centered PSP, without the gaming aspect.

So it is a different device all in its own, apps aren't user installable so what you see is what you get unless it comes in a firmware update.

Its good for use in Wide area Wi-Fi locations such as Malls, Colleges, Business Parks etc.
If you only have access to a personal router I wouldn't buy it. Other than its a great device but in a entirely different field from an Axim/PDA so it makes for a bad comparison.

I was going to buy one, but then I realize that you can't really do much on it. Axim can do anything the MYLO can do and with a nicer screen too. The only good aspect of the MYLO is how stylish it looks and the sweet looking keyboard. It just takes all the complicity of the PPC and tone it down so some low tech people could actually do some stuff.
