Sony Corp.’s latest effort to capture the hearts,
minds and money of teens and twentysomethings is a Web browser,
messaging program, wireless phone and digital music player all rolled
into a handheld gadget that goes by the name Mylo.

The Mylo ($350) works on any
Wi-Fi wireless Internet connection. It offers a bright 2-by-11/2-inch
backlit screen that packs 320-by-240 pixels of sharp resolution. A
standard thumb keyboard slides out from below.

The
standard keyboard layout makes chatting a snap for anyone who has taken
a typing course. Built-in Skype software is as close as the Mylo gets
to being a phone. (Google Talk on the Mylo is limited to text chatting.)

Web surfing through the Mylo’s Opera Web browser is functional. I was able to bring up most Web sites.
