We mentioned the Sony Dash in the January/February issue of Maximum Tech, but we’re long overdue in presenting a more in-depth look at this Chumby device. If you’re not familiar with the Chumby, check out our previous coverage of the http://www.maximumpc.com/article/reviews/article/reviews/chumby_one" style="outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; color: #cc0000; text-decoration: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">Chumby One and Best Buy’s http://www.maximumpc.com/article/reviews/insignia_infocast_review" style="outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; color: #cc0000; text-decoration: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">Infocast.
Sony’s take on the Internet Appliance features a seven-inch, 800-by-480 pixel capacitive touch-screen that’s much larger than the Chumby One, and slightly smaller than the Infocast. As with those devices, it’s capable of connecting to your 802.11b/g wireless network (or your “n” network if you configure your router to permit “g” devices) with up to WPA2 encryption. You can download and install most Chumby apps, including Facebook and Twitter, directly onto the Dash without having to use your PC first. We dig the Dash’s wide-screen display, its small footprint, and the fact that it’s capable of streaming video from Hulu Plus, YouTube, Netflix, and other services.
