Sony’s mylo (“my life online”) is another new gadget that blurs the lines between phone, computer and entertainment center. The trick with mylo is it uses VoIP (Skype) and a Wi-Fi connection rather than a cellular connection. So no monthly access fees, but you have to be near an 802.11b hotspot for it to work. Key features are voice, IM and Web e-mail. The device, announced in August, reminds us of the impending meeting (clash?) between Wi-Fi and cellular. Will they co-exist, compete or converge? (See “Fixed-Mobile Convergence” in the Connected World report, p.31.) Good mylo review here.
