Sony mylo Personal Communicator COM-2 Review
How do I use a Nokia N800 Internet Tablet as my daily computing device, I first paired the mylo COM-2 as an Internet Tablet. To a good degree.
As Nokia Series of devices, it builds on a variant of Linux (QT from Trolltech is what the user interface based on), even if it is closed to third-party application development. It comes with the NetFront browser, which is capable of rendering most sites quite well. He uses Flash Lite To Flash-based aspects of websites. And in fact, are both units of the same size.
Both the Nokia tablet and the mylo COM-2 work as a gateway to multimedia and connectivity everywhere. However, the Nokia devices are for the most part, a gateway on the Web, the mylo COM-2 has a much simpler. It seems to want to be more of a media center than just a Web box. But is that music is about the only thing that the mylo COM-2 works, if it is not connected, that Media Focus lost fairly quickly.
Compared with the N800 (running Maemo OS2008), there are significant differences in the refinement and the cohesion of the included applications. Applications on the mylo COM-2 shares frequent interactions and a total of stricter compliance with a similar user interfaces. This focus makes the mylo COM-2 a little more refined in daily use as the N800.
Sony Mylo COM-2
For example, the RSS / podcast application is quite simple. Browse through the contents easily by pressing the buttons on the screen. This attention to the media is in all applications. From setting bookmarks in the browser to display the Google Talk instant messaging contacts, only the viewing of photographs, the bright and clear screen of the mylo COM-2 layers on a manageable Media Center.
As the N800, the Web browser offers the opportunity to display Flash in the home. And has a zoom in / out function for those pages, which are larger than 800px wide screens.
Besides, you can do it, with some significant user interface.
A few people looked at me with the N800 and mylo COM-2 asked whether they could play with them. I let them play as long as they could before the other device and ask questions.
In all cases, the mylo COM-2 points in the looks department. All were impressed by his appearance. But it scored very low usability. One person even frustrated enough to say that he would have returned within an hour for the purchase, because it was so difficult to simply figuring out how to get an address in the Web browser.
The mylo COM-2 has some nice features for those who are connected with each other frequently.
As the N800 Sony device has a screen at home, that widgets. Google search Facebook Notifier, RSS feeds, “” Contacts, and YouTube are the standard. Unfortunately, the Sony mylo widget site did not show any others that contribute to the downloading at this point.
One of the better applications can be found on the mylo COM-2 is Skype. Compared to my experience with the N800, with Skype is as simple as connecting to a Wi-Fi hotspot, then open the Skype application and inputing your credentials. Voice calls can only use the included Sony headphones. The normal Sony sound quality, still requires clear, and there are some checks on the ear buds for controlling the volume and answering features.
Voice quality from the other end will depend on a few things, such as overloading of the network. In my tests, both sides of the conversation had no problems with the hearing. There were some distortions in the hearing of the other line in the use of more than four applications, including in connection (Google, Yahoo IM, Skype, and the browser were all going in the same time), but normally you can expect That only few problems with multitasking and in connection with applications on the mylo COM-2
