Posted Mon, Apr 26, 2010 by Juan Pablo

Smartphones and other handhelds boasting of internet connectivity and access to other online applications are too many to mention as every multimedia-focused companies scramble to churn out gadgets after gadgets crammed with features to satisfy the internet addiction of almost every user. But while most of them indeed give us synchronized access to email accounts as well as access to social networking websites, they are still primarily built as mobile phone and their abilities, although very useful and ingenious, are still limited. And Sony had been laying low for awhile but their latest gadget will surely act like a springboard to put it up again as one of the top brands in the field of technological gizmos.

Sony Dash is finally released and available at leading stores nationwide and it will shortly be released to other countries really soon. It is a tablet-like device and Sony worked with genius company Chumby to turn the gadget into an internet beacon capable of storing and using thousands of internet applications. Access to popular sites like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Plurk and Flickr via a Wi-Fi wireless network is a breeze just as advertised and its user-friendly browsing and shifting through applications works without a hitch. It is built in a small yet sleek and sexy design and you can place it anywhere around the house, even placing it on small countertops and side tables.

It features a 7-inch LCD panel display where you can watch movies, music videos and even entire movies thanks to websites like YouTube and it also features popular online radio stations like Slacker Radio and Pandora where you can listen to your favorite playlist free of charge. Its only real downside is its lack of portability options because it does not have a battery system and must be plugged to an outlet all the time. Still an advanced media player like this that has internet access and a slew of applications and limitless potential is worth the measly $200.
