Engadget goes hands-on with the Sony Mylo

Engadget goes hands on with the Sony Mylo


Those lucky cats at Engadget get all the cool stuff! Just yesterday, Sony decided to hook them up with a late prototype of the Mylo.

Here's what they said:

The Good
+ The Mylo doesn't have the XMB cross-media bar that we've grown to love on the PSP, but its interface is still easy to navigate.
+ The hot-spot finder is a nice program that helps in finding where you can go online.
+ The screen is "nice and bright."
+ The Mylo supports limited multi-tasking.
+ The Mylo seems to have less "key travel" than similar slide-out keyboards.

The Bad
- There is no Bluetooth support.
- The file system is basic.
- The buttons aren't backlit.
- The color scheme of the keys and keyboard (Dark orange on orange) doesn't contrast well.

So it looks like Sony could tweak the system a bit, but overall, it looks pretty solid. It's kinda funny because in the first images we saw of the Mylo, it looked like its design borrowed heavily from the PSP. But seeing the two together, they really don't look similar at all.
