Gee, Sony locking things down to prevent 3rd Party Developers from adding to their hardware??

That's absolute hogwash! ;)]]>Aug 10th 2006 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/Aug 10th 2006 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/]]>Aug 10th 2006 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/Aug 10th 2006 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/Aug 10th 2006 4:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/Only changes to GPL and Open Source with similar licences.

... or, make the thing into a cell phone (and throw a 3MP camera in there too). It does nothing a current cell phone (minus wifi) or a PSP (minus linux and keyboard) can't do now.

This thing is so close to being something useful and a killer app. As it is right now, it's just there, filling no one's niche - not gaming or computing or music/video or skype. It does almost everything completely half-assed.]]>Aug 10th 2006 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/Aug 10th 2006 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/Aug 10th 2006 5:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/Aug 10th 2006 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/

Even then, there wouldn't necessarily be any obligation to open up the applications, the GUI framework or the inevitable DRM systems. Just because the kernel is open doesn't mean "home-brew" is feasible.]]>Aug 10th 2006 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/Aug 10th 2006 6:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/Aug 10th 2006 8:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/
having Linux != being a PC replacement.

that said... the Mylo looks okay i guess. i liked the Ogo better. being able to use a cell network with a cheap IM/email/web machine seemed like a cool idea. this... being WiFi only... seems slightly less useful. though i suppose in a large office building or school campus that is fully blanketed in WiFi it could be useful. price is a bit steep though.]]>Aug 10th 2006 9:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/
However, I think this won't look that bad as a finished product in consumer hands (although kinda childish IMO). Although this compares with the OGO, I would much rather pay 350.00 for a Sony product with no monthly fee than pay 80.00 bucks for some "built as cheap as it possibly can be" handheld that charges you at least 14.99 a month to use. I can wait to see how this product evolves.

Way to go Sony! Someone has to lead the way.]]>Aug 10th 2006 10:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/Aug 10th 2006 10:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/
WHAT IS THIS THING? I mean, honestly... What niche is this thing suppose to fill? I just don't understand how they expect to sell this thing at any significant volume. it doesn't seem to to be suited for anything more than JVM cell phone quality games, or some video watching. And with no IM client, this thing seems DOA to me.

Don't get me wrong, I do love alot of the crap they're shoving into this thing, and with a linux kernel, hacks will no doubt be abound. We'll just have to wait and see how they market this thing. I'm still on the fence, wondering if they will at all.]]>Aug 10th 2006 11:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/Aug 10th 2006 11:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/10/more-mylo-deets-emerge-linux-is-under-the-hood/
There are multiple IM clients built into it. One of the main reasons im buying it is because i live in a city where there is always an open wi-fi acces point and I dont want to take my laptop with me everywhere. I have a psp to pretty much just play games, a cell phone to make calls, an ipod to listen to music, and a laptop for the rest of my computing needs. I cant't or don't want to always carry around a huge backpack just so I can get online. This allows me to go online for free and make skype calls, most of my friends have skype on there computers allowing me to talk to them easily if I don't feel like IMing them. I don't really need it, but will probably use it. That was a pretty messy comment but the simplest way I cna put it is because nothing else does what it does in the way that it does making it convient for me.

i agree sony should cut down the price. but i still think i would wait a bit and see wot happen with it before buying it.
