Mylo (Sony)
Mylo, standing for "My Life Online", is a pocket-sized handheld device created and marketed by Sony for instant messaging and other Internet-based communications like browsing Internet web sites using the Opera web browser, and playback and sharing of media files. Debuting in 2006, Mylo had a screen which slid up to reveal a QWERTY keyboard. Using Wi-Fi instead of cellular networks — reducing connectivity costs by avoiding the necessity of using GSM, CDMA or 3G cellular networks which would usually be used for devices of this size and functionality — the Mylo was targeted to the 18–24 age group. A revised model was released in 2008.
The first version of the Sony mylo was launched on September 15, 2006, and includes 1 GB of onboard flash memory and a Memory Stick PRO Duo expansion slot.
The mylo is 23.9 mm (15⁄16 in) thick, 123 mm (4+7⁄8 in) wide, 63 mm (2+1⁄2 in) tall, and sports a 6.1 cm (2.4 in) QVGA (320 × 240) LCD screen. Its form factor is similar to the T-Mobile Sidekick in that it is held in landscape mode and has a slide out QWERTY keyboard. Its initial model colors were a glossy black and white.
On January 6, 2008, the second edition of the Sony mylo was announced at CES 2008 in Las Vegas. This version was based on PSP technology and included AIM, a touchscreen, and a camera. The Internet Browser was changed from Opera to NetFront.[citation needed] It supported Adobe Flash for viewing Flash content such as YouTube videos and for playing Flash-based games. The mylo COM–2 had 1 GB flash memory that could be used for music and video playback. Two colors were available: black and white. The mylo COM–2 featured wireless G connectivity. The keyboard was backlit as well. System software version 1.201 added support for video recording. The mylo COM–2 was released on SonyStyle.com on January 25, 2008, for $299. It was reduced to $199 before the holiday season and was quickly drawn from production due to its poor sales.
The mylo's menu of software applications is grouped by function.
The following applications in the main menu group use the Wi-Fi connection:
COM–1. The Opera web browser allows a number of configurations to help minimize the limitations of the small screen (320x240) including Zoom (%), Text Size (Small, Normal, Large) and View Mode (Normal or Fit to Screen).
COM–2. NetFront with support for Flash Lite is the web browser that is supplied with the mylo COM–2.
