Sony ships Mylo...

Sony has just unveiled the Mylo, a portable media player and communications device that seems to defy categorization. Apparently not related to the failed wireless service of the same name that Sony launched in 2001, this Mylo is pure hardware. It's a media player, so it can handle your music, photos, and videos on its 1 GB of flash memory, expandable via a Memory Stick Pro Duo slot. Then it has built-in Wi-Fi, allowing you to access the Web with an Opera browser, chat it up using Google Talk or Yahoo Messenger (however not AIM for some reason), and even talk to people via Skype. Furthermore, you can share songs with fellow Mylo users wirelessly if they're in the area. A full QWERTY keyboard should make typing a much less painful experience than UMPCs like the Q1. The only thing missing from the Mylo that would make it a must-have gadget is a cell phone, but I guess you can't win 'em all. The Mylo will hit stores next month for $350.
