After a very long brake I got my next new toy : Sony Mylo in desperate attempt to minimize amount of crap I have to take to my vocation to Japan. It seems I will have gave up my 10D in favor of small water and shock proof Olympus camera.

This is a small gadget that work like Skype WiFi cell phone ( and as I figured out my small table PC I was thinking to care can not do Skype - it disconect as funny as it is probably 900mhz Transmeta CPU is not nearly powerfully enough under Windows to handle Voip. It is also have troubles with MP3 and Video ha ha ha) and have
Google and Yahoo messengers build in as well in addition to Skype.
You can go directly to you Gmail and yahoo mail as well as there are a Opera browser build in.
Opera works via Opera proxy so, images are nicely scaled and you have fit and full browsing models as well as zoom to mitigate small screen of device.

Of course, you can listens to Mp3 and view Mp4.

Sound quality for Mp3 is awesome even with provided ear-gear and small speaker rocks as well.

I did not tested the claim of 45 houres of MP3 yet, but batary last long.

Sony promise 7 houres for Web and 3.5 for Skype talk.

Nice.

It come with 1 year of T-Mobile Hotspot and Jwire Hotspot database.

This is a nice toy and while you say " I want this and this and this, or I have this and this
in my PDA phone" I will only smile back :-) This is a free world and please do enjoy :-)

What I like :

1) Small, light and nice
2) Battary life is not bad
3) Nice MP3 sound qualty
4) Buidl in speaker
5) Skype !!!!
6) Gmail and Yahoo mail and messangers - exactly what I use.
7) Usable Opera browser
8) You can send files over Skype ! Yes !!!
9) Can save page for latter reading
10)Have 1 Gb of memory ( why PDA for not do that ?!) Can add more memory ( +4Gb for 100$)
11) Can chareg via USB !
12) Have Japanese and Russian build in , so I can browse these sites ! cool!!!



What can be better

1) No support for Flush and Web streaming. ( No youtube.com :-(
2) No support for file download ( you can send files via Skype only)
3) Screen is small for browisng of some sites , well, device is small too.
4) Spesial adapter-conector for earphones ( ?!)
5) No Japanese IME for entry in English phone ( I need to get Japanese firmware ?)
6) No Hebrew support in broswer ( ? please ?)
7) No Camera ( hm ... can be handy and sony have it )
8) Only one type of Mp4 supported and no converted included ( shit !)



If you like this kind of toys, get one :-)

I will put more tips and images soon here.

Tip 1: Guest WiFi in Microsoft campus is useless : It is more like temporary account you have to ask for for you guests. You need login, give all information and it expires. Nice.

Tip 2: Seattle have WiFi, but I never managed to connect yet. Have no idea where this rumors about free WiFi on Metro Transit and parks in Seattle came from. Need to check Morimoor park here :-)
