In case you missed it, I had a brief hands-on video with the Sony Mylo com2 on UltraMobileGeek.com. The mylo (Intentional lowercase portmanteau for "My Life Online") spec sheet sounds familiar.
800x480 touchscreen
Sliding backlit keyboard
Linux based core
Widget interface with quick links to Facebook and YouTube
WiFi, and Skype, but not a phone
The mylo is going after the 13-18 market. It is more durable than the N810 and thicker. There will be no "open" Linux access to it and no development kit (as per Sony's reps on site.)
Even so ... I want to put this one through the paces. I want to see what they did right and wrong on it and give my comparative experience with other devices. I am glad to see the original mylo plans in the trash and was impressed with how far they have come. In a battle between the Nokia N810 and the mylo COM2, it's a race to see if a device with an expensive development and marketing budget can battle a device with hundreds of third party apps and an SDK.
