Sony Mylo unveils its nature: An Internet Tablet

Sony adopts the Nokia orientation: Pour in the Open World to get the most of its newly relaunched Mylo. Said Linux Devices:
Along with an unspecified version of Linux, the Mylo is based on Trolltech’s Qtopia Platform, a relatively new graphics and application development framework that features a plug-in framework aimed at multi-function consumer electronics devices.
Interestingly, when it launched Qtopia Platform, Trolltech said the stack would initially support Wind River’s Platform for Consumer Electronics, Linux Edition. Thus, the Sony Mylo may well be the first relatively high-profile consumer electronics device to incorporate Wind River’s embedded Linux OS.
Everybody mentioned Sony going after the Sidekick. But we previously pinpointed the similarities between the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet and the Sony Mylo. This element proves two orientations: 1) That both companies are trying to push into WiFi phones and computer mobile phones; 2) And that Linux share market is going to increase significantly.

I only wish the Nokia 770 had a keyboard or the Sony Mylo had a 4″ screen (like the PSP and N770).
No keyboard - no go
2.5″ screen - no go
Correct me if I am wrong, but the Sony Mylo has no gaming, like its bigger brother the PSP. So now, the people have a choice: Gaming or Better Internet? The only reason the Mylo would be a better choice is because of the Skype capability and having a keyboard for the internet.
Rex-aroni, you got it right, although the Sony Mylo is a personal communicator in essence and the Sony answer to the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet. The N770 comes with Gizmo Project and Google Talk, but has no keyboard.
