Sony mylo - Image 1We've gotten a few interesting bits of information on the new Sony mylo from sources close to the company. These are all unconfirmed, though, so until we hear anything official, we're tagging this report as a rumor.

Anyway, the biggest feature that we hear is coming to the second-generation Sony mylo is the possible integration of PSP software. So, will it be able to run PSP games or will it be limited to PSP firmware and applications? Whatever the extent of integration, it seems the PlayStation brand is spreading onto other Sony devices.

Another interesting tidbit is that Sony seems to be angling to get Sprint as a carrier for the new mylo. Of course, if Sony does get Sprint as a carrier, the mylo's price point could also go up as the original used WiFi networks to reduce connectivity costs. Here are more updates about the new mylo that we got from our sources:

  • New E727 Half-mini card negotiation with Novatel (in-progress)
  • Widget development activities (in-progress)
  • SDK development (in-progress)
  • Developer Program and Developer Community Website.
  • RF technical support (in-progress)
Please keep in mind that these are all just rumors for now. We'll be sure to give you guys more updates as soon as we get them so keep checking back here.

 » it will be realy cool...

for the fact that the PSP lack of a keyboard feature and the mylo have all the messenger... I always like the mylo... is just that isn't for me... and very expensive for me too... but maybe it will be something like the PSP2 or something... that the two will be together...

The mylo is pretty expensive and useless, so I could care less.

I'm pretty sure you mean "couldn't care less."

And hit Japan sometime. Their market there would totally accommodate a product like this.

mylos kinda pointless. its been kinda overshadowed by the iphone and even the ipod touch which does so much more for a comparable price.

The First Mylo was a interesting gadget for Japan...Not the US. I am a sprint user and if it really does come out with sprint connections, I may just buy it.

The function and set-up of thw Sony Mylo is definitely what the PSP need or should have, plus another analog pad and the R2/L2 buttons, it will have no competition if that happens.
