Sony Dash Introduced in the US Market

Just imagine that after waking up in the morning, you have access to your e-mail, Twitter and news sites sitting on your bed in your tiny alarm clock. That sounds great, is not it? Well, now you do not need to imagine it because it is now possible in reality thanks to Sony Dash, but for that you need to spend $199.

Sony Dash is a small device that you can think as a smart alarm clock which not only wakes you up, but also opens up a new world to you. You do not need to open your laptop to check the e-mails to download your favorite TV serials or music. All are now available at your finger tip. The touchscreen device has a 7-inch display that gives you a comfortable viewing.

Sony unveiled the device for the first time in CES 2010 where it grabbed the attention of the people and many were inquiring when it will hit the market. The good news for the US technology enthusiasts is that Sony Dash is now available in the US.

With Sony Dash, you can download TV serials, videos and music from the websites like YouTube, Netflix, Pandora etc. Moreover, the device has the multi-tasking capability. That means, you can run two applications at the same time. You can check the news sites while playing your favorite music in the background. From Sony Dash official website, I am sharing a part of the press release of the product with you here:

With Dash, a playlist of your own personalized internet world is constantly refreshed and pushed to you, reducing the need to search for your favorite content or to log onto your favorite sites. Dash also allows you to “wake up a whole new way” with music videos, internet radio, or any video content available on the Dash instead of a traditional alarm clock buzzer.

Further, Dash can multitask. For example, if used on a kitchen countertop, internet radio can be playing in the background while you use your Dash to follow a recipe step-by-step.

Adding to Dash’s impressive content offerings, CNBC(TM) and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia will each be offering apps for the Dash, displaying business news and market information as well as enabling you to access the highest quality simple recipes. In addition, Dr. Oz will provide a series of video health tips for Dash users.

Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia’s app for the Sony Dash, titled “Dinner Tonight(TM) Recipe of the Day,” will come pre-loaded on the device and will provide a daily recipe from Martha Stewart’s vast library of Everyday Food magazine recipes consisting of eight ingredients or less, as well as allow you the ability to utilize any of the daily “Dinner Tonight” recipes from the past month.

CNBC’s app will also be pre-loaded in the Sony Dash and will feature real-time financial and business news, market information, stocks to watch, and more.

The video health tips provided by Dr. Oz are especially well suited for your wake-up experience. Each video is approximately one minute in length and provides specific steps you can take to live a healthier life.

In the coming weeks, Dash will be highlighted on several national broadcasts including Dr. Oz, Martha Stewart, CNBC, as well as in music videos from several high-profile Sony Music(TM) artists.
