Sony Mylo after a week

September 28, 2006 · 0 comments

The Mylo is living up to my expectations. I am extremely happy using it for Skype calls, and as noted in other reviews the sound quality is exceptional.

A couple of annoyances have cropped up.

Skype does not sync contacts correctly. Adding one to your Mylo does not show up in your computer, and the Mylo Skype client only seems to reload existing Skype contacts after formatting the Mylo.

Also, battery life seems to be less than expected if you are actively using Skype.

A few missed opportunities come to mind.

Once again, the lack of AIM and MSN chat clients really does impact the convenience carrying the Mylo around your home or office.

The other glaring miss is lack of a built-in calendar application. I would gladly dropped the simple text application for a calendar.

I haven’t played with the media playback much, but if you could record Skype calls or make basic audio recordings this could be an ideal mobile podcasting device.

With the exception of the flawed keyboard, all other missed opportunities can be remedied with a software update from Sony.
