Sony "Mylo" Update

**motz** · August 9th, 2006, 08:42

Sony have launched a mini-website for their new product, the Sony "Mylo" (previously thought to be called the Sony Milo) which we posted yesterday. You can check out the site here. On the site you will find a full feature list for the device, which I'm sure you'll agree, is similar to the PSP.

The SonyStyle website also has posted the Mylo and it will be available in September of this year.

So.. it's a PSP without the games, but with a keyboard. Interesting.

Ok, although I kind of like this, I am officially pissed off. This gets 1GB of internal flash memory while the PSP was designed with ZERO internal memory storage.

This will have video playback at its native resolution (320x240) while the PSP is limited to 320x240 instead of its full 480x272 resolution. (Thank you PMP Mod)

Its hard NOT to judge the similarities with the PSP and feel cheated.

This better be EXTREMELY affordable ore else I don't see it becoming "the next best thing".

I like how it has a TON of internet commincation capabilities built in.

Owell, I guess this is geared to a different, less interest in gaming crowd.

Either Sony is bigger and bolder than I thought or they are trying to do too much at once.

That would be cool, this thing will support memory stick DUO cards which means a good amount of storage for a gadget smaller than the PSP.

A lot of people hoping to hack, mod, exploit, or create homebrew for these should get them when they are first released to have an earlier hardware version. I would not be surprised if Sony has "security updates" planned for this.

Anyone think Sony will make the mistake of allowing unsigned code to be run on initial hardware allocations of these babies? LOL

If they are cheap enough, I might buy one just for kicks to see what I could do with it. It is being released in September.

lol. These are pretty sweet, if we had processor speed details, this might be a great console for homebrew, i mean, with a built in keyboard, there is a lot more u could do. But considering this is just basicly a messenger/media handheld, i am not expecting anything spectacular (aside from the built in flash). But i dunno, i may buy one whent he price goes down. Also, i bet if its hacked security updates will get it, on the site it has a section for system updates.
