Sony originally unveiled the Dash during CES and it is expected to be available in April at which time it will retail for $199. As far as what the Dash does, well, think Chumby — but for grown ups. In reality it will allow the user to do things like have access to the weather, Facebook, Twitter, a calendar, Slacker, Pandora, photo slideshows and more.
In terms of content I would have said it was designed for quick-at-a-glance style stuff. However this latest announcement changed that up a little bit and could have you sitting in front of your Dash for a few hours at a time.
Sony, along with Netflix has just recently announced that the Dash will be able to stream Netflix Watch Instantly content. Of course, whether or not people will want to watch movies on the 7-inch display will be another story.
