The Mylo is total pants in comparison to the 770, but I suspect the Mylo will fair better than the 770 because the buying public is confused by the 770 - it's by Nokia, but it's not a phone; it's a pocket computer, but it's not a PDA; it's an internet tablet, but you need a phone when not at home (and it's by Nokia?! Where's the phone!) etc.

Sony know how to market, and will market the Mylo well, they won't be saddled with the same issues Nokia face, although it will be compared unfavourably to the PSP if it's cr@p at games. Kids will buy Mylo, inquisitive adults with cash burning a hole in their pocket will buy it. It will sell reasonably well for a product in this category, better than the 770 which isn't being marketed well at all.

Maybe the push from Nokia will come with the mkII, whenever that appears - don't leave it too long Nokia, upstarts may be about to clean up. If Sony think the market is ripe for Mylo they obviously see it has significant potential, Nokia need to get the 770 back on track and in front of the right people - other than the lack of keyboard (how about a low cost keyboard/cover attachment?) it wipes the floor with Mylo.
