Sony Mylo



This device reminds of the OGO, which didn't last too long, despite having a solid support base. The Ogo was a dedicated text-message, IM, and web-browsing device. Startlingly missing of course was the phone. Of course with other all in one devices, the Ogo, just couldn't compete. Well Sony apparently didn't learn from the Ogo's failure and they've produced a similar product, but with an even bigger limitation. The Mylo only works off Wi-fi. Although, it's great if you want to use it for making skype phone calls, and if you hang out at starbucks alot, I just don't see why this is practical. Another similar device is the Nokia's 770, which is an internet tablet, is met with similar limitations. Although, they are great concept devices, they just don't seem to find customers that need this functunality.
