[...] Once I already wrote about a new Sony Internet Tablet Mylo (short for “My Life Online”). It seems that Sony turned his face to Linux. The first was Vaio UX Micro PC with Linux version. The second is Mylo which is also based on Linux (Trolltech’s Qtopia Platform). In my mind it’s good for quality and price when there’s a choice on the market. [...]
