Sony Rebrands Mylo Personal Communicator as Mylo Internet Device, Probably Won’t Help Sales

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.

Franklin’s new Pocket Spelling Bee was unveiled at the NYC Toy Fair this week and despite its more than passing resemblance to the Sony Mylo, it appears to be a solid educational toy. The device allows kids to compete against one another or the computer in a spelling showdown for supremacy.

The Speaking Spelling Bee also features a 2″ high-contrast LCD screen, the ability to play on the go or connect to the tv, clear speech and sound effects, the Merriam-Webster Intermediate Dictionary with over 70,000 words, the Merriam-Webster Intermediate Thesaurus and the Merriam-Webster Rhyming Dictionary. Pricing and availability have not been announced. [Franklin via Make]

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.
