Unveiled: Sony Dash – a Chumby for grown-ups

While we have a soft spot in our hearts for Chumby, Sony’s coming out with a competitor that, as our Editor Robert Nelson says, “a Chumby for grown-ups.” The Sony Dash, coming this April for a reasonable $199 will do many things Chumby set out to do, namely act as a connected clock radio and much more.

It has always been that “much more” part that got everyone excited about Chumby (whose recent entry, the Chumby One at $129 was atop many Xmas gift lists). The Dash, like the Chumby is filled with apps that can bring you content from hip sites like Pandora, Facebook, Twitter, and the other 1,000 Chumby apps. And of course, time, calendar, weather etc are all there.

All in all we are excited about this impressive, grown-up even device.
