Just in case that unholy slew of new audio accessories didn't quite fill your product announcement void, Sony also used the first minute of the day to announce a new developer community site for owners of its mylo COM-2 Wi-fi personal computer.

Launched today, Mylo Labs lets mylo owners access and create widgets for the device.
