In case you missed it, I had a brief hands-on video with the Sony Mylo com2 on UltraMobileGeek.com. The mylo (Intentional lowercase portmanteau for "My Life Online") spec sheet sounds familiar.
  • 800x480 touchscreen
  • Sliding backlit keyboard
  • Linux based core
  • Widget interface with quick links to Facebook and YouTube
  • WiFi, and Skype, but not a phone
The mylo is going after the 13-18 market. It is more durable than the N810 and thicker. There will be no "open" Linux access to it and no development kit (as per Sony's reps on site.)

Even so ... I want to put this one through the paces. I want to see what they did right and wrong on it and give my comparative experience with other devices. I am glad to see the original mylo plans in the trash and was impressed with how far they have come. In a battle between the Nokia N810 and the mylo COM2, it's a race to see if a device with an expensive development and marketing budget can battle a device with hundreds of third party apps and an SDK.
