Skype and Sony team up on new personal communicator
MobileCrunch points to what looks to be one of the cooler (and affordable) personal communication devices I've seen in long time. For a lot of talk- and media-focused users with consistent access to WiFi connections, this device may be a great alternative to more expensive smart phones, UMPCs, palmtop PCs, and yes... even iPods.
TechCrunch says availability is planned for September and pricing is expected to be in the $350 range. Specs include 1 GB of Flash memory, a 2.5 screen, and 7 hour battery life for talk or web surfing (45 minutes for music). Mylo will be available in black or white.
