The first Sony mylo launched in Oct/06 and was decidedly a slow seller. This new iteration, creatively deemed the Sony mylo COM-2, and debuted at CES 2008, improves on the original in a number of ways.
It now has a 800×480 touchscreen, a backlit keyboard, support for IM via AIM, a 1.3MP camera and Flash Lite support for its web browser.
The mylo continues to be marketed as a pocket-size personal communicator for use over 802.11b/g Wi-Fi hotspots, but is now has a target demographic of 14-18 year-olds…down from the already-cell-phone-enabled 18-22 year-olds.
Reaction to the Sony mylo 2 seems to vary from lukewarm to positive.

I’m glad we still use the word “phone,” not communicator. Too hard to spell!
At this point, the only really non-cell-phone-enabled demographic is 1 month-2 years old.
