Sony Dash Personal Internet Viewer Now Shipping

Tweet

The Sony Dash is available now in stores, three months after its initial revealing at CES 2010.  The Sony Dash is a 7-inch “personal internet viewer” tablet that features apps, social media integration, video playback from Netflix and more.

The Chumby-inspired Sony Dash is basically an internet display device, but could very well replace the alarm clock as the side arm of choice on nightstands throughout the world.  The Sony Dash isn’t your typical nettop, as it doesn’t have the input device required to run tasks like email or anything else that requires textual input.  It is a touchscreen device that display basic information about a user’s status on the web.  It’ll show the time, the weather, images from a Flickr stream, movies from Netflix, status and messages on social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook as well as music from Pandora or Slacker.  It is a “dashboard” in the traditional sense, a heads up display of what’s going on around the internet.

Sony’s Dash personal internet viewer is now shipping and is available in stores for $199, right on time with Sony’s original projection for late April.
