Sony Mylo debuts next month

Sony’s upcoming Mylo could have been a killer device if it had included cellphone capabilities. Unfortunately, the oversight leaves us with a portable communication device that relies on existing WiFi hotspots in order to connect to the Internet. The Mylo sports a generous 2.4″ display that ought to be sufficient for all your casual surfing and instant messaging needs. It will also feature multimedia features such as audio and video playback. The 1GB of memory will definitely stifle its performance, as you will have to invest in additional storage media to carry your music and videos around. The Mylo will be released in September at the recommended retail price of $350. More specs after the jump.
