There is hope. I was browsing articles and found this one. Looks like someone saw a Mylo at CES that had a calender and address book. Not sure what that means but we need to find out.

The Sony Mylo is a little tough to describe. First let me tell you what it?s NOT: it?s not a cell phone, but it can be an Internet phone if you are using it in an area where you have wireless Internet access (like a hotspot or a home Wi-Fi network). It?s not exactly a PDA, but it does have a calendar and an address book.

It?s not easy to put this device in any category; it?s basically a wireless communications tool. Who would this be good for? TEENAGERS?this thing is perfect for text messaging and Internet browsing on the go. But at $350, it?s a little pricey, considering almost every teenager already has a cell phone that does more than the Mylo at a lower cost

They are not currently on the Mylo. I cannot see this video because my Media Player won't play internet streaming playback! Dam!

What kind of things do you see on here guys?

in my opinion, the lady doesnt know what the heck she is talking about. it is a reporter briefly talking about the product. i hate people who act like they understand tech and really do not. video is a waste.

i still would like some sort of calendar. i have a flash one for my psp, when the heck is mylo gonna support flash?

Flash 9 has just been released for Linux so there is no real reason why it cannot be installed with the next firmware release.

I agree the reporter is clueless. I got that impression as well. Just made me stand up and hope for a second when I read the test portion of the report. I am sure the device will see more functionality soon. The video she is in does not show the display very well anyway.

I also see the new Image Converter 2 software that is coming ?possibly?. I see they are giving away the image converter 2 software via a rebate. Then, now on the Sony website I see the new Image Converter 2 Plus software. Not sure, but I think they are different. They now specifically list support for the Mylo within the supported devices description. I did not see this for the previous Image Converter 2 software.

There ARE reasons flash 9 could not run on the MYLO, not saying they are applied, but they exists. Hardware limitations ect.


Anyway, Becky isn't a dumb person, She used to work at TechTV(RIP). She's just putting things in lamens terms, because thats what she is now payed to do.
