Wow, Sony did something GOOD! (Mylo)

Post by Sir Games-A-Lot »

Mylo


Wow. and WOW. and maybe WoW if Blizard wasn't gonna sue me (see the we don't need no stickin' pods thread :wink:).

This is practically everything I have ever wanted in a non-game centric handheld, right down to the form factor.


Yet at the same time it seems like Sony is shooting it's self in the foot. I mean let's face it, as far as I can tell most people don't buy the PSP for the UMDs, they buy it for all the other functions, and this thing is almost the same price as a PSP with the equivalent memory and it has a qwerty keyboard, and lots of built in apps, and a supposedly much longer battery life. So that leaves the PSP with UMDs and home brew games. Objectively that's not bad but not good either.

Whoa, I have never seen that thing before, very, very cool, truly futuristic. I guess we finally get those things everybody reads books on in Star Trek: Voyager eh? (a long time dream of mine :wink:)

That mylo is awesome, but in the end it's just another thing I have to carry around. A treo or other cell/pda hybrid would work better imho. I do like how its keyboard is wide and spread out.
