LOL. You are clearly deluded to think that any virtual keypad can replace a hardware one. ]]>Jan 25th 2008 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/
i don't see this trumping the iphone though. ]]>Jan 25th 2008 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/
Also, to the poster that claimed the touch doesn't have a keypad, you're wrong. It's just not a traditional one. I don't own one but I played around with one a couple of times and it's pretty simple to use. I'd venture to say it's every bit as fast and easy as a physical keyboard with a little practice.]]>Jan 25th 2008 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/
The main disadvantage are that 1) The on-screen keypad eats up significant screen real estate when active, and

2) You cannot type without looking at the screen. Hardcore thumbpad typists can usually hit most of the keys without looking, although I have less faith that that will be an option with the Mylo, as it lacks the bumple keys of a treo or blackberry.

Mylo and iPod Touch definitely occupy the same product space, and both have their strengths and weaknesses. I think the iPod Touch has a lot of significant advantages over the mylo, and along with other browser pads, like the Nokia and Archos pads, they will limit its adoption to a tiny, obscure minority.

I don't think mylo 2 is motivated by any success mylo 1 had, it was a real dog of a product. I think its just indication that this is a product space that they really want to be in. In true sony style, they will beat their heads against a brick wall over and over until something sticks. Usually, that something is brainmatter, but occasionally they hit pay dirt with market share. ]]>Jan 25th 2008 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/
My first comment was in response to Reid's comment about the iPhone/iPod Touch not having a keypad. While there isn't a keypad, there is still an on-screen keyboard and you can't take that fact away. Whether you want tactical buttons or not is a whole other debate.

What is keeping anyone from comparing Apple's touch-screen products to Sony's Mylo 2 product, anyway? Both gadgets obviously have wifi and multimedia capabilities, it just depends on what you're going to do with either of them.]]>Jan 25th 2008 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/

From reviews that I have read, the web browser has severe problems and crashes when two programs are opened. I'll pass.]]>Jan 25th 2008 10:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/
“Sony CEO Sir Howard Stringer told an audience in Tokyo that Remote Play is only the beginning of the PS3's external connectivity. The Bloomberg news service reports that the executive said his company plans to eventually link up the PS3 to mobile phones and a range of other unspecified electronics.“

I had to buy one :)

Also Sony just got the PS3 DivX certified and I think I heard rumors that they plan on doing the same for the PSP. Is the Mylo next? hmm.]]>Jan 25th 2008 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/

It *is* a Sony font. Who do you think released Spider-man?

People really need to put the whole font thing to bed. A company can never re-use one of its own fonts?

PS3 - Spiderman, very similar possibly the same.

Mylo (Vaio UX and several others) - Spiderman, very different just look at an E as an example.


I'm guessing a load of opticians are falling short of their targets, and now I can see why..

Not saying it's a bad unit - never used one. But that's not necessarily a good reason to keep dumping money into the product. (See: Caddyshack)]]>Jan 25th 2008 9:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/
That Spiderman font is also the "Playstation" font.]]>Jan 25th 2008 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/
@Jeff: It's okay to use some font again and again BUT not a font like this. I mean, this is really obtrusive. It's okay for a film logo, kinda works for a console branding (while feeling already 'old' and pretentious, there) but for a keyboard? Yahkt. They really have to stop with that, the mylo is quite ruined by that 'o-my-I'm-so-sci-fi' keyboard font imho.]]>Jan 25th 2008 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/
To be honest I'm not so hot about it it either.

Now that they have used it on the Mylo 2 I figure it is foreshadowing to further PS3 connectivity.]]>Jan 25th 2008 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/
So you have a degree in fontology? Come on man just shut up and let them do as they please. Who are you to say "it's okay for this to be used for movies, but not for gadget"? Anyone who decides on buying a gadget for the right font is a dumbo anyways.]]>Jan 28th 2008 1:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/Jan 25th 2008 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/Jan 25th 2008 10:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/

I had read that this device does not allow you to add applications, so that's one thing less it can do than an iPod touch even if it does need to be hacked. ]]>Jan 25th 2008 10:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/Jan 25th 2008 10:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/Jan 25th 2008 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/sony-mylo-2-on-sale/"All five of you who have been waiting patiently "
