Technology continues to shrink in size; look at the Cell Phones. Once they were larger and bulky; now they're sleek and slim, not to mention faster. The WebCam has also changed from an external device sitting on top of your desk to a small dot on your screen. For businesses, each new advance in technology makes connecting with colleagues easier. It is also great for families and friends who want to keep in touch.

Sony understand our desire for new and innovative technology, and they've answered the call with the “Dash." The Dash is a digital window for any and all personalized information. With a few swipes of your finger, the Dash Personal Internet Viewer gives you access to what you want to see, when you want to see it, and is designed for use at home.

For the internet savvy user who enjoys the latest advance in technology the Dash provides, "A fun, interactive way to stay connected with their news, entertainment, interests and ultimately, their lives,” said Brennan Mullin, Sony Electronics’ senior vice president of the personal imaging and audio business. The Dash also offers free access to all apps from chumby industries, inc. as well as the robust audio and video content from Sony’s Bravia Internet video platform, including YouTube, Pandora Internet radio, Epicurious, Crackle, Livestrong, Blip.tv and much more.
