Here's a early look @ the mylo:

The small screen is still a deal killer for me... might as well use a freakin cell phone. whats the point.

BTW, I don't mean to be an ***, but Sony does make non proprietary stuff like TVs and CD players, believe it or not. Anyone remember the transistor radio, the walkman? come on give these guys some credit.
Sony gets a lot of crap these days, but mainly because of the mismanagement under that A S S Howard Stringer. I did recently buy a Bravia LCD TV, because after comparing all my choices, the quality was still the best (The Sharp, though looking good on paper did not seem to perform as well in reality).
anyways, I'm usually first to criticize Sony's incompetance, but I also realize that they have put out a lot of good products in the past and they do (or at least used to before Stringer), put a lot into their R&D.

edit: also, the linux on a sony device does not surprise me all that much. They did afterall support the Linux on PS2 project. And the Clies run palm OS, so they are not all Windows all the time.
