Leave it to the open-source community to bring value to their wares. XBMC, nice. PSP with Pandora's battery, beautiful. And so on, and so forth.

Sorry, no idea why I felt that was important enough for me to say, but I've had a bit to drink and I felt it should have been said.

note: the above saying is the correct version. "couldn't care less" means you don't care at all. some idiots say "I could care less" which means they still care at least little bit, which is often NOT what they mean.]]>Apr 12th 2008 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/12/sony-mylo-2-firmware-version-1-100-adds-wmv-and-shoutcast-suppor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/12/sony-mylo-2-firmware-version-1-100-adds-wmv-and-shoutcast-suppor/Apr 12th 2008 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/12/sony-mylo-2-firmware-version-1-100-adds-wmv-and-shoutcast-suppor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/12/sony-mylo-2-firmware-version-1-100-adds-wmv-and-shoutcast-suppor/Apr 12th 2008 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/12/sony-mylo-2-firmware-version-1-100-adds-wmv-and-shoutcast-suppor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/12/sony-mylo-2-firmware-version-1-100-adds-wmv-and-shoutcast-suppor/Apr 12th 2008 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/12/sony-mylo-2-firmware-version-1-100-adds-wmv-and-shoutcast-suppor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/12/sony-mylo-2-firmware-version-1-100-adds-wmv-and-shoutcast-suppor/
Even a cost reduction of one dollar per unit to Sony means millions in lost revenue because they sell heaps of these things (assuming they sell at the same price, and if they don't sell at the same price, every dollar extra counts against it versus the DS, and faces the risk of being considered too expensive.

Not to mention associated support and RMA issues a more complex / fragile device will have.

Not always a Sony fan by any stretch but some devices just need to be different for different markets in order to make a decent return on investment and to compete basically in its core competencies without pricing itself out of the market.]]>Apr 13th 2008 7:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/12/sony-mylo-2-firmware-version-1-100-adds-wmv-and-shoutcast-suppor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/12/sony-mylo-2-firmware-version-1-100-adds-wmv-and-shoutcast-suppor/---
Sorry, that was meant to read "even a cost increase of one dollar...". By that I mean manufacturing cost.

PS. I would love a keyboard myself, but I can definitely understand why it's not happening (and won't IMO, unless Nintendo releases their DS or equivalent with a keyboard and Sony has to compete, basically...which won't happen, IMO).

Myloest. pun. ever.]]>Apr 12th 2008 3:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/12/sony-mylo-2-firmware-version-1-100-adds-wmv-and-shoutcast-suppor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/12/sony-mylo-2-firmware-version-1-100-adds-wmv-and-shoutcast-suppor/
I have a PSP, PS3 and Mylo 1. I have no intentions of getting the Mylo 2 until they drop the price to $199 and add Location Free support, which I'm sure it can do!

Besides, I played with a Mylo 2 last night at Fry's and it wasn't very fast just operating the GUI. For $299.99 and iPod Touch is looks more viable.

No GSM is because this is for teens, contrary to the $299.99 price teens can't afford. Also, I'm sure they would end up working with Sony Ericsson, if they went GSM with a Mylo.

Honestly, anyone wanting a Mylo 2 would be better off getting a PSP. Unless you need phone microphone/earspeaker and a keyboard built in, a PSP would just be better.

The PSP and Mylo both support the same audio codecs, minus DRM. Same video codecs and higher resolutions on the PSP, minus the added WMV and current FLASH, which SCEA could add. They both have a NetFront browser. They both have Skype. They both have RSS, minus RSS news feed capabilities.

Also with the PSP, you're guaranteed firmware upgrades for quite sometime. With the Mylo, don't hold your breath!!!

SCEA and Sony Electronics are 2 different companies.]]>Apr 12th 2008 4:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/12/sony-mylo-2-firmware-version-1-100-adds-wmv-and-shoutcast-suppor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/12/sony-mylo-2-firmware-version-1-100-adds-wmv-and-shoutcast-suppor/]]>Apr 12th 2008 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/12/sony-mylo-2-firmware-version-1-100-adds-wmv-and-shoutcast-suppor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/12/sony-mylo-2-firmware-version-1-100-adds-wmv-and-shoutcast-suppor/Apr 12th 2008 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/12/sony-mylo-2-firmware-version-1-100-adds-wmv-and-shoutcast-suppor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/12/sony-mylo-2-firmware-version-1-100-adds-wmv-and-shoutcast-suppor/Apr 12th 2008 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/12/sony-mylo-2-firmware-version-1-100-adds-wmv-and-shoutcast-suppor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/12/sony-mylo-2-firmware-version-1-100-adds-wmv-and-shoutcast-suppor/avi,dat,mov,divx,xvid,wmv,qif,abc,xyz and all remaining 3 letters combination shitty formats you can think of. 2 hours of playtime with 12 AA batteries. on the back an aye-pod logo(to let it feel authentic.) 2 watt speakers so noone can listen with you if a fly buzzes around the room.

The only time when I can't have my laptop with me is when I'm on the go .. in which case the device needs to have GSM!

Sony, put GSM on it. And on the PSP2 if you're making it.

For those of you who wonder who might find the Mylo Com2 useful, well, I do. As a motorcyclist I bought one as soon as I heard they were providing Wayport as part of the deal. As I ride on the roads less traveled I can usually find a McDonalds and that means I know where I can find wifi access. That's a big deal, small internet device that I can drop in my pocket while leaving my laptop at home makes for easy traveling. Pretty soon I'll be leaving my cell phone home as well. I've found the Skype feature works very well.]]>Apr 12th 2008 8:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/12/sony-mylo-2-firmware-version-1-100-adds-wmv-and-shoutcast-suppor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/12/sony-mylo-2-firmware-version-1-100-adds-wmv-and-shoutcast-suppor/
