Is this the mylo 2?

So we were doing some followup research on yesterday's post about the upcoming mylo 2 Personal Communicator, when we happened to stumble upon the picture you see above, first posted in the beginning of October by qj.net. Part of an article sourcing someone claimed to be "close to Sony." this supposed mockup of the second-generation mylo immediately struck us as having an almost identical form factor to the FCC render that we just saw. And sure enough, as you can see after the break, a little resizing magic does indeed show the two outlines lining up pretty closely -- although not perfectly. Hmm...if this is in fact the production version of the mylo 2, what does that PlayStation-style typeface on the keyboard say about the device's features, we wonder?

why not just use a iphone. modding is mad easy, great on the go wifi, even if its a tad slwo, ull still have cell service anywhere, and u have the coveted, all important phone.

i am in no ways a iphone fanboy, or iphanboy as i like to call them. there are tons of wifi, internet enabled, moddable devices out-there. but the iphone is the first that comes to mind.

Get a n800 or a n810. I got a n800 for around $220 and you can do everything the mylo can do times a hundred. Open source all the way. Why would anyone buy this?

It kinda reminds me of the Helio Ocean.

After they change the font, they can start on the name...

It would be funny if a mod did that one day.

That's not the Spider-Man font...look at the "Y" and the "M"

What makes some of you guys think this thing ISNT a cell phone? or that it ISNT a touchscreen?

If it does, in fact, have both of those functions, and it's as skinny as an iphone, I'd call this one a serious contender! It could even be called sexy... IF it does have phone/touchscreen.

otherwise, it's useless.
