Sony took the radical step of renaming their “Mylo Personal Communicator” the “Mylo Internet Device.” Though it’s unlikely to affect the five of you that actually bought a Mylo, you have to wonder if it’s a last ditch effort to generate interest in a product that didn’t exactly set the gadget world on fire.

There’s other stuff too–16GB Memory Stick and general UI improvements–but the video is the big upgrade. Just stick with that Mylo 2 a little longer and who knows what good things will come of it?

Sony’s portable web surfing device, the Mylo 2, which has full flash support, a touchscreen and Wi-Fi connectivity is now officially available for sale. The first shipments will take place on Monday, but you can go ahead and orders yours now. Check out out our complete Mylo 2 strip down, and groping session to make up your mind whether it is worth the US$299.99 asking price. AU: I remember when the first Mylo was launched, I innocently asked whether or not we’d see it down here. The response: “Hahahahahaha!” (Okay, not really, but they did say no). My point is, if you want one of these, you’ll probably have to import.
