The Sony Ericsson Zylo and its sibling the Sony Ericsson Spiro are the thirty-fourth and thirty-fifth Walkman phones from Sony Ericsson.The Spiro is a dual-band GSM device with a 2.2″ 240 x 320 pixel display, a 2 megapixel camera, an FM radio and a Facebook and Twitter application in addition to the latest version of the Walkman player.What about the Zylo, it is a 3G device with a 3.2 megapixel camera and a larger 2.6″ 240 x 320 pixel scratch resistant displayThe Zylo adds an FM radio to the Walkman player but there’s no mention of a 3.5mm audio jack although it does support stereo Bluetooth. There’s no GPS, but it can geo-tag photos, presumably using the mobile cell location as a guide, there’s also a web browser and email client too.
