Sony Dash Information Alarm Clock (Black)
The Sony Dash Information Alarm Clock (Black) lets you wake up in an entirely new way. Instead of using your smartphone or computer to individually look up the latest news, weather, and social media updates, you can now use the Dash to access the most up-to-date content at a glance. The Dash has a bright 7" touch screen LCD display that will show details from the over 1000 available apps. The Dash connects to your home Wi-Fi network without the need of a computer for quick and convenient setup.
In addition to apps, you can also listen to music via an Internet radio service via the built-in mono speaker, or you can connect a pair of headphones. You can view online photo albums from services such as Flickr, Picasa, and Photobucket, or view your own photos via USB. The small footprint makes it easy to bring the Dash to any room in your house; it's perfect in the bedroom, office, or even the kitchen! Easy-to-use clock and alarm options let you wake up to Internet radio stations, apps, or built-in alarm sounds.

Comments about Sony Dash Information Alarm Clock (Black):
I beleive SONY originally called the DASH a"personal internet viewer" . . . it's no such thing. I see now, however, they are calling it an "information alarm clock", and that is exactly what it is.
I saw this at a friend's house. They were using it as an alarm clock only. As a clock, it's very cool. As for "viewing" the internet, forget it. It doesn't have a useful browser to speak of and the "apps" (which are web widgets of a sort) are slow to load and device specific.
That said, it's the coolest clock I've ever had. You can set any number of various alarms, different times for different days, set times for groups of days and s different time for others, etc., which is seriously cool.
It looks awesome. I have it displaying two time zones and weather for both those zones. If I want to view one of the "apps" I have it set for one of the major news feeds. (I rarely look at that though, I'm really only interested in the time and weather).
There is a night mode (which changes the display to show time and dims the screen so as not to be too bright to distract from sleep. The touch interface is fairly responsive, the screen is satin.
The "Yes, I would recommend this to a friend" comes with some reservations. If you're looking for a nice clock with some neat features, this it it. If you're looking for more, look elsewhere.
