Another Device Blurring the Lines: Sony’s Mylo

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.
