Sony Dash - Shall we make a run for it?

Interesting device this little 7" alarm clock. At first glance it appears to be some type of tablet, but in actual fact Sony claims it can only be for stationary use (regardless of the Dash name). Reading this article however will soothe your Justin Bieber Fever. Haha...

According to Bieber, provided by engadget in the picture above, this is the correct pose to be assumed when using the Dash. Very nice.

Specs of this device consist of:
  • 500mhz processor and 256mb of ram - pretty fast!
  • 7" capacitive touchscreen with 800x420 resolution which is good for movies - the operating system however lags too much which slows it down. Disappointing.
  •  Has Sony's Bravia Internet Video platform to support streaming media services like Netflix, Pandora, and Slacker.
  • With WIFI and apps available this also means, Twitter, Facebook, Internet radio and light websurfing.
  • $200USD price point which is fairly cheap, 50$ cheaper than HP's DreamScreen
  • another use could be watching movies, or streaming Youtube. 
  • Last but not least, screensaving pictures in background or the main function... Alarm Clock.

Wrap Up
It has been reviewed as slightly sluggish due to the Chomby OS, maybe the Dash 2 will be faster with better processor and more ram. It does however beat other competitors out there like HP's Dreamscreen which although is bigger, is much much slower. Sometimes you may just need the worlds most complicated alarm clock. Another alternative would be using a stand for the new Ipad or even those speaker pod stands for iphones. But if Justin Bieber is using it, then I would not see why little teenage girls should not.

That is all. :)
