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.
