Sony Dash Offers Wi-fi and Touch Connectivity

I personally don’t know what all the craze is with boxes that apparently do what my laptop or desktop can already do, but they just can’t seem to make enough of them. I was first introduced to the Chumby, which was a device that I just saw no use for. I thought it would have been a nifty idea like ten years ago, but nowadays with mobile devices as they are, it seem irrelevant. I’m sure Chumby owners are happy with their purchase, and I don’t want to take anything away from that, but beyond the novelty, I didn’t see the need.

Most recently I came across the Sony Dash, which is another device that, like the Chumby, offer a bevy of internet services and multiple uses. The device can access the internet to show stream audio, video, check your social networks, work as a photo album, and and even give you the weather. Sounds pretty savvy, but like the Chumby, I only have one question…why?

The Sony Dashy ($200) has a seven-inch screen, wi-fi, a USB port, stereo speakers, and full access to Sony Bravia’s Internet video platform (Pandora, Youtube), and some 100o apps from the Chumby library. So apparently there’s some cross connection between the two devices.

Sony Dash is wi-fi enabled device that offers you connectivity to information on the internet.
