Phil Wolff on Sony Mylo
Phil Wolff is unimpressed with the Sony Mylo, the Skype-enabled Wifi communicator, which he compares to the Sidekick, another closed box:
Still an opening for the killer, all-around, uses-anything communicator.

You mean like the Nokia 770? It's not perfect, but it's open (Linux based), speaks Wif-Fi and Bluetooth (connect to your 3G phone and out to the network) and has a couple of VoIP clients (GTalk and Gizmo).
The 770 is often faulted for not having cell phone capabilities built in, but I actually think this is smart of Nokia - people don't have to give up their current phone to use it (lower barriers). And, they can update their phones to move from no data plan to EDGE to EV-DO to whatever and not need a new 770. Finally, you can carry a small phone when you don't need/want the larger device.
