The Sony dash Personal Internet Viewer

Would you like your own little personal internet viewer delivering your favourite parts of the internet to you? If you would, then look no further than the new Sony dash Personal Internet Viewer.

Here is how Sony describe the dash:

The dash™ Personal Internet Viewer constantly delivers your favorite parts of the internet, all at a glance. Through BRAVIA® Internet Video, dash brings you instant access to a variety of movies, TV episodes, videos and music from a large selection of entertainment apps including Netflix®, YouTube™, Slacker® and more. And with over 1,000 free chumby® internet apps streaming your own personalized channel of news, games, social networking and more, dash offers a premium entertainment experience that only Sony can deliver.

You can use it to display your email, your Facebook updates and even Twitter, along with a whole host of other applications, movies, sites, Internet radio, etc.

It’s small enough to fit just about anywhere – in your kitchen, your living room or even on your bed side table so you can see what’s going on in your digital world when you wake up.

It has a 7 inch WVGA 800×480 LCD touch screen display, supports Windows Media Video 9 (up to MP@HL 1080p) Microsoft VC-1 (up to AP@L3 720p) MPEG 4.10/H.264 (up to MP@L4.0 1080p), is WiFi enabled and more.

The dash is currently available for pre-orders, with shipping due to start on the 14th April. The retail price is $199 and you can order it from here :

Currently there is no sign of this being released here in the UK, which is a shame as it looks very cool and I want one! Have a look at the video on the Sony website above to see what I mean!

Thanks to Greg Welch for the heads up on this little device.
