Sony Mylo Challenges Nokia 770

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday August 16, 2006 @04:03AM from the lustworthy-hardware dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Tomshardware says Sony's Tiny Mylo Internet Communicator is out. "The first page of MobilityGuru's July 2006 review of Nokia's 770 WiFi powered Internet based communicator was titled "In A Class Of Its Own." One Month later the title is no longer correct. With the recent announcement of its Mylo (for My life online) personal communicator Sony joined the battle for the hearts, minds and pocketbooks of people whose major means of communication is instant messaging and Web based phone calling."" I've got a 770 on my desk right now (review forthcoming) so I'm curious to see other takes on the genre.

Does this Sony Mylolife preinstall with its rootkit?

  There will be three models: one with a rootkit preinstalled, one with an exploding battery, and a Premium Edition that will have both and will phone home right before it explodes.

Yep, I bought one at the CompUSA here in Rochester, NY.

The guy looked at me, and said, "You know it doesn't run Windows, right?"

I politely asked him to just ring me up.
