The problem with this thing is that it's still completely pointless, when compared with phone offerings.
My $300 AT&T Tilt (AKA HTC TYTN II) cost the same as the Mylo's previous MSRP, and offers Wi-Fi with all the web browsing and VoIP trimmings, works with any IM network you want it to, plays music and video, and adds GPS and a half-decent camera... plus, obviously, it's a phone, and can go online without any need for a hotspot, at decent speeds. (I notice that small devices like this tend not to be much faster on WiFi than on 3G.)
So what's the point in spending the money on a similar device with half the functionality missing, and the other half gimped?
"I'm moving to a small studio and for some reason the cable connection is in an awkward place and I need a way to transmit HD quality video and audio no more than 20 feet away. What is the best wireless HDMI transmitter / receiver for this situation? Thanks!"
