from the inside, looking in

Sony has apparently decided that it will sell the Mylo in Japan. Available at SonyStyle and shipping from mid-december. Mylo is a handheld “personal communicator” with QWERTY keyboard, wireless LAN connectivity, has Skype and Google Talk installed and the Japanese version also has a music application called Playlog installed, this seems to be a Last.fm type application/web service/SNS type community which allows sharing of listening histories (and communities based around music). Playlog software is also available for PCs, and there is also a blog widget available too.

Unfortunately, Mylo doesn’t do Flash so no YouTube on Mylo, although there is Mylo advertising on YouTube.

There’s also a Mylo blog…

Price, JPY45,000.
