Let's hope Sony gets it right on the next revision

Based off of the package specs online, the Mylo looks quite promising as wifi enabled mobile solution for the instant messaging / VoIP generation... That is if you ignore the hefty $350 pricetag. I would not have taken the cons for this device as seriously had the price been in the $150-225 range.
So what does $350 get you?
You get a bean shaped gadget capable of connecting to various types of wifi networks, instant messaging (Yahoo, Google Talk, & Skype), VoIP (Skype), movies, music, pictures, and a semi-impressive browser.
What $350 doesn't get you is a device that you can use when the lights go out. An instant messaging device with one of the poorest keyboard designs I have ever used. Sony slapped a pulsing light on the side of the device which constantly glows when connected to a wifi network. Why the hell wasn't a backlit keyboard included? As soon as the lights go out, your device looses much of its value.
Hold off from purchasing this device until Sony implements an acceptable keyboard AND decides to support the larger AIM / AOL network.
