Answer 1

In short:
The mylo is a handheld instant messenger and web browser, whereas the Helio is a cell-phone with A LOT of extra features.

In more detail:
The mylo Personal Communicator (launched September 15, 2006) is a device created and marketed by Sony for people who use instant messaging as a primary form of communication and networking for their social life. The name mylo stands for “my life online” and the communicator lets you use instant messaging (Skype, Google and Yahoo), browse the Internet (using Opera), listen to music, send emails and view photos concurrently.

Small enough for a pocket or purse, the slim, oblong-shaped device features a 2.4 inch color LCD (measured diagonally) with a slide out QWERTY keyboard for comfortable and quick thumb typing.

By using WiFi networks for internet connectivity mylo provides users the possibility of reducing connectivity costs by avoiding the necessity of using GSM, CDMA or 3G cellular networks which would usually be used for devices of this size and functionality.
