The Sony Dash is a touch-screen box that sits on your table and streams news, music, videos, and a customizable selection of widgets.

The Sony Dash is shaped like a wedge, with a power jack on the bottom and two ports on the left side for USB and headphone output.

The top of the Sony Dash includes volume control and a large menu button that doubles as a snooze for the built-in alarm clock.

The Sony Dash, unfortunately, must be plugged in at all times using the included power adapter. There's no internal rechargeable battery or optional battery backup.

The screen on the Sony Dash measures 7 inches diagonally and is easy to read at a distance.
