If you're a mylo fan, you're pretty stoked right now. We're doing our best to refrain from calling this thing the mylo 2 (namely because it's just the new "mylo," official designation COM-2 mylo), but we did get to kick the tires on it, and it's pretty clear how huge an improvement the new model really is. Unfortunately, that's not saying a whole lot, given the state of the original mylo -- but the new one? Really not so bad. Granted, the crisp, high res touchscreen wasn't quite sensitive enough for our taste, and it didn't really seem intended for use with a stylus, and most of the big new features we tested (RSS / podcast aggregation, YouTube playback, browsing heavy sites like Engadget, etc.) worked, but were pretty sluggish. For our money, between the two we'd say pick up an N810, but if you're down with the mylo this is a formidable upgrade.

whats the point of this thing??
To make you look like a social retard.
OUCH!!
Are they using the spider-man font on that keyboard? How many times is Sony going to milk that bloody font??
Sony should've also turn this into a phone.
i really dont see the point of this thats just a wasted effort that could've went to the psp
True. But it'll end up costing more and not everyone play games.
If they would have made this into a phone it would have been a must buy for me.
what where the sales of the Mylo v1.0 like?
HA!
the only thing that i could get out of this thing is a new name for a dog
cute name.
I like this, it needed a touchscreen.
Seriously now who's going to buy this? and if you are please don't.
It's great how engadget tells it like it is!
I think essentially Sony is playing the traditional SONY game. They release products with a minimum feature set and then provide incremental upgrades ad infinitum.
Although some products have shone from the outset, for example the DSC-W1 digital camera, most are just a little bogus for some reason or another, until the new model comes out.
at least it looks better than the last mylo.
they should put out a firmware upgrade for the first mylos like microsoft did for the zune.
dis thang is onmy b-day list
