Sony Mylo V2. Jan 2008 rumor.

Posted on 30 October 2007, Last updated on 07 November 2019 by

I do remember the Sony Mylo but to be honest, I don’t actually remember what its purpose was. Was it a games machine? An MP3 player? An Internet device? I’m going to have to do a little check…BRB

Aha. Yes. It was a mobile Internet media player and one that I quickly diss’ed based on its small screen size. I also said that if when they produced one with a 4.5″ 800×480 screen, i’d be ‘first in line to test it out. Maybe i’ll have to keep some time free for a trip to the U.S. in Jan because Pocketables has picked up on an uber-rumor saying that it will launch in Jan 2008 (CES?), will incorporate PSP software and have some form of partnership with Sprint. Voice? Data? It sounds really interesting and if Sony put some effort into the Internet experience (larger screen, faster processor) then this could be a very interesting consumer mobile Internet device indeed.

Pocketables: Sony mylo v2 due in January 2008?

    The original mylo was actually pretty good for what it was supposed to be. I’ve been using mine for over a year (review) and although the web browsing component and small screen provide a subpar experience compared to UMPCs and even other ARM-based devices, it’s still a good all-in-one for college students. Battery life is exceptional too: 3.5 hours for VoIP, 7 hours for Internet, 8 hours for video, and 45 hours for audio.
