The Dash is a device manufactured by Sony that connects using Wi-Fi to the Internet. It has a touch screen which the user can use to browse information or listen to music. It is not a portable device since it does not have an internal battery. It is positioned as a ''personal internet viewer'' which can act as an alarm clock, Internet radio, digital photo frame and many other uses. It has applications which can be downloaded onto the device. These are the same as those supported by the Chumby device. == History == Sony announced the Dash at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show.〔(Sony announces Dash Internet application viewer - The H Open: News and Features )〕 It was made available for sale in late April 2010.〔(The Sony Dash is now available (for real this time) | TechCrunch )〕 Originally the device was only usable in the United States, with users in other countries being locked out with the message "Error: Missing XAPI Service Mode". On June 25, Sony released a software upgrade allowing Dash to be used in other (if not all) countries, however subsequently restricted international service again in November 2011. The device does ''not'' have international power settings, and can only be powered by mains electricity of 120 V 60 Hz.〔(Application Error )〕 Sony introduced two updated versions of the Dash hardware in September 2011. The HID-B7〔(Wi-Fi Alarm Clock with Apps | Dash Information Alarm Clock | HID-B7 | Sony USA )〕 and HID-B70〔(Wi-Fi Alarm Clock with Apps | Dash Information Alarm Clock | HID-B70 | Sony USA )〕 refreshed the hardware, with the HID-B70 adding a battery backup.〔(Sony's Dash gets a new lease on life, we stop to wonder why | Engadget )〕 This revision of the Dash device removed Netflix and YouTube streaming support. On March 14, 2015 the Sony Dash stopped supporting all streaming content, including Netflix, Pandora, Slacker, and YouTube, although the device continued to authenticate with Sony and act as an alarm clock.〔()〕 While there has been no public response from the company, such service returned on April 24, 2015.〔()〕 November 19....software upgrade installed.
