haha, i wasn't trying for informative... I was mostly just being loud and obnoxious :-). It's actually very interesting to hear someones opinion who actually owns both (no one else i read had both devices).

I can very much see the battery life issue, and if the mylo has video playback as nice as the PSP then I'd be quite impressed (though I rarely use video... it's a really nice thing to have when you want it).

This brings up an interesting question, actually... Why is video playback so terrible on the 770/800... the devices have high enough specs that they should be able to play video flawlessly, and since both Mylo (i think....) and 770 run some sort of linux (though perhaps different approaches, i understand the mylo is much more embedded). I really do prefer the screen / form-factor of the 770, but that's ultimately a matter of preference...

Maybe I'm imagining that the Mylo is targeted at the same audience that the 770 is... I definitely see the 770 more as a web device, and the mylo more as a skype / instant messaging one, though maybe I'm missing the point. your thoughts?

And I suppose, also, where do you use one over the other? You mentioned flights, etc, but are there other instances?
