Other controls on the Sony Mylo include a power/hold switch and a wireless on/off button on the left spine, and a volume rocker and a Memory Stick Duo/Pro Duo expansion slot (supports up to 8GB cards) on the right side. On top of the unit, you will find a proprietary headset jack, a power connector, a mini USB port, and the camera activation button. Finally, the camera lens, self-portrait mirror, and reset button are on the back.

There’s also a built-in equalizer so you can tweak the sound, and you have the ability to create playlists on the fly.
