  Summary: Once again Sony got close, but no cigar. The lack of a browser means I still need to utilize my notebook or smartphone to check e-mail or to surf the web: It would have been ever so simple for Sony to have included this feature: My unit was returned to Bestbuy: I will purchase an audio base for my IPOD Touch and use it on my bedstand: The Dash is a product one can do without; its price point is ridiculous when measure against provided features: What is its design niche?
  If I wanted a digital picture frame I would have acquired one; it is not a portable MP3 player; it is an alarm clock/ news headline briefer?
  Big deal!

  Pros: Chumby apps work great, instant wireless weather, slacker etc

  Cons: Poor speaker, bought HP netbooks speakers for fantastic audio

  Summary: I've had mine since 6/16 when my wife got it for me. The alarm fuction is awesome the weater and sport headlines are pretty sweet.
  
  I had no problem setting mine up and since the latest firmware upgrades the channels update pretty quickly. As a bedside media station the only gripe I have is no ipod compatibility like the other chumbys. Can't have it all I guess.
  Hopefully it will become available soon.
  
  Pros. that couldn't fit above:Can access facebook and youtube without my computer.
  * Can play mp3 from a non-ipod player
  * Looks sexy in my bedroom and on my night stand!

  A good start for a device that could mature into a must

  Pros: Descent integration of services.
  Descent look and feel.

  Cons: Horrible speaker system.
  Touch screen response is merely adequate.

  An awesome producet, with lots of room to improve

  by mdntcallr on August 1, 2010

  Pros: nice desktop mini web device.
  sounds cute and works well

  Cons: lots of way improve
  1- add SIRIUS / XM client
  2- add Slingbox Client
  3- have larger size better screen
  4- get better sounding speakers
  5- have better audio output and linkns to stereo equipment, tv. ie let it control your blu-ray player or more.

  Summary: this is a killer box, but needs better output for stereo systems and for more programs for it to work with.
  
  my top items- SIRIUS and Slingblox client.

  Summary: It does not have any real purpose. It also doesn't have a web browser which is weird because it is a personal internet viewer. It also is not priced fairly because it is worthless. The ipad can do all the thing the dash is supposed to do and more. I would not recommend this product to ANYBODY.

  Not a bad gadget for $70 (NewEgg deal)

  by silvertank on July 1, 2011

  Pros: Well designed case and bright screen, good developer support, flexible system, USB support, decent little speakers, established community (Chumby), free apps, built-in apps are excellent

  Cons: Slow startup, automatic light adjustment is not very good, requires software update right out of the box, some of the outside apps are a bit lame and unstable, USB won't read external hard drives, requires some time to get the outside the apps to work cor

  Summary: You can really tell the winners from the whiners when you read these reports. The whiners compare this to a $400 ipad and moan about features that were never promised. The winners take this little box and make it shine. The question is, which one are you? Look, this is a very simple gadget but yet very powerful. It can digest about any content and just takes a few tweaks to be very useful. No it's not a web browser, but neither is your old clock radio. It's like ESPN SportsCenter for all your inportant info. It quickly presents what you need, then moves to the next info. When it hits the end, it repeats. If you don't want that, it will happily be a clock radio till you need it.
  I think this is a perfect nightstand gadget to give me news, appointments and email in the morning, and maybe some sleeping music at night. I think people need to focus on what it does do, not what it doesn't. It's well built and well designed, just don't compare it to something that costs 4 times as much.

  Very nice on paper. Ridiculously bad in real life.

  by ouiuken on April 6, 2013

  Pros: Tells the time.

  Cons: Slow. Very slow. Slow to load. Slow to change. Slow.
  Too bright for most people
  Limited usability
  Touch screen a joke.
  Not at all integrative with any other device.

  Summary: Don't waste your money. Just buy a normal alarm clock and you'll be much happier.

  Alarm clock for geeks

  by bartsor on August 27, 2012

  Pros: Easy to use/set-up
  Nice features for a quick morning glance
  Some advanced streaming features that go beyond alarm-clock functionality

  Cons: Sound is OK for the size but since it's Sony it should be better
  No battery backup

  Summary: It does what it needs to. Great little device for the night table but has some room to improve for the next version!
