Sony's Mylo ("my life online") personal communicator is a new gadget that provides users access to online instant messaging services, Web pages (fully-featured Opera browser), e-mails, play music, and view photos. Most interestingly, the mylo communicator comes with Skype software built into it for VoIP calling. It also has Google Talk and Yahoo! Messenger embedded, but it's not clear if these two applications will only support IM or VoIP as well. Like a competing gadget, the Nokia 770 internet tablet, the Sony Mylo skips a SIM card in favor of WiFi only.Sony Mylo with and without thumbpad displayedNo that's not a Sony PSP, but they sure damn look alike.
