We're at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where Sony has just revealed a pocket device for surfing the web. It's called Dash.
In a statement, Sony says: "The dash device accesses a wireless home network and continuously updates information designated by the user. That information is then delivered by more than 1,000 selectable free 'apps' to give consumers customized Internet content."
Here are a few other things we've learned:
- It is a touchscreen device designed to surf the web
- Dash has a 7" color touchscreen. It's meant to be portable.
- The device can either be placed flat or stand upright.
- The device has software to run Twitter, Facebook and other social networks. It also has an audio component, though we can't tell what exactly it has from the promotional video they played here.
At first glance, this device is nifty, but nothing revolutionary. We'll relay more information as it comes to us. Here's an image from the event:
