Sony Dash Personal Internet Viewer for $69.99 + shipping
Doesn’t anyone ever just unplug from the Internet and Enjoy the Silence?
what the heck.. yours shipped already? i'm still waiting for mine to ship =\
For those trying to find the order, make sure you're on http://sellout.woot.com and not any of the other woot sites (particularly deals.woot, which is where you're directed by clicking the Sellout picture on the main woot page), then click "My Account".
Mine still hasn't shipped, it's supposed to be by tomorrow according to the policy on that page. I'm really hoping the woot-off shipping problems for the Dash haven't been repeated with this Sellout deal.
I thought maybe my browser was hosed, check sellout.woot.com. I was getting redirected to deals.woot.coom and couldn't even find the thread.
Also, just take your order number from woot and search on fedex.com under the track by reference, I believe it is. Once there, you should be able to find the status. Seems to be hit or miss that woot doesn't always get the traking information tied back to your order page in a timely mannor.

Thanks for the FedEx link. Worked like a charm. Just wish I didn't have to wait until the 31st. But given all that just happened, I understand.
Worked perfect Thanks for the link
Mine shipped on 3/23 and won't be here til 4/1. Apparently they're shipping it by pony express, and its only coming from Texas to Maine
Ok, got mine today and setup was as easy as my Chumby. Now that I have both, the Chumby and the Dash, I can give a good comparison.
Here are the main differences as I see them side by side.
Cost, via woot. Chumby 50, Dash 70
Chumby has battery back, which is extra, I ordered a battery for about 10 bucks.
Dash screen is much nicer, Bigger. Plus you have Weather and time always on the main screen, widgets run in part of the screen
The Dash looks nicer as well. A bit more stylish.
Functionality, they ae prety much the same. The Dash uses most the Chumby apps.
I don't use netflix, so I can't compare there, but would guess it would be a lot nicer on the Dash.
If you have the opportunity to buy either one, and you have an extra Jackson in your wallet, go with the Dash. I feel you get more bang for the buck.
Thinking about getting a few of these for family members. The photo feeds alone are worth the price of the unit.
@jnevil: I still haven't received shipping info from woot and the FedEx lookup using my order number isn't working. Can you help me out?
I have no shipping information as well. What is the situation, please?
@bryangriffith: I added my zip code and other info to the above FedEx website and got the confirmation that mine has supposedly been on its way since the 23rd - apparently on the back of a broken down old mule since it is getting here (VA) on the 31st?!? I thought FedEx had planes.... (Yeah, I know it wasn't being overnighted, but the USPS is faster than that.) Did not appear to get any e-mail from Woot though... (Yes, checked Spam filters and the what-not too)
The order status at Sellout.woot.com is not working. However, the link above worked like a charm. Mine should get here on the 31st.
@crashnburn01: Thanks for the tip. Once I added the additional info I was able to get some tracking info. Thanks again!
Still waiting for shipping information. sellout, please help. I do, however, have the e-mail stating that my credit card was charged. What's up with that? Thanks.
AFAICT all the woot sites stopped sending shipping info months and months ago. For shirts, they just show up (it's like Christmas!) For this, the alt-reference worked for me. (The order info page still doesn't have a tracking number, no email, no nothing.)
Agree with others though, it couldn't possibly go any slower. Ordered on 3/20, shipped 3/23, estimated arrival is 3/30. USPS would have gotten it here in time for my birthday last weekend, even with it not getting out the door until Wed.
They sent an email today letting me know that is shipped 5 days ago... However, looking it up via the Reference/Order number worked just fine.
If Woot isn't going to send out tracking numbers in a timely manner then how about putting up a self service link to check tracking via reference? It appears that many were not aware they could track packages in this manner.
IMHO there has been a general decline in the handling of orders - especially in regards to timely communication of shipment and details.
@jdjimmy: Thanks Riley and wootbot. I have my tracking info and have checked status with fedex. ur the best!
I'm kicking my self for not getting 3.
I like this one much better than the Chumby. Next time I see them on Woot, you can count me in for three!

Got mine yesterday! Totally Bad A$$! Love it! Almost as good as my iPad2, if it had batteries it would be perfect!
The new Dash will have batteries, so look out my dear Apple, here comes Sony (I own both shares;). BUY BUY BUY!
Bub-buy! ;)
Argh, finally arrived locally and the delivery got pushed back to Thursday.
Hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow anyway..
I got mine, today. The touchscreen is dysfunctional. It continually taps the top of the screen over and over until the touchscreen stops responding. Sometimes this takes one or two minutes to start. Other times, it happens immediately. Darn.
I was able to update the unit's software to the latest version, but the behavior has not changed. I've been using it at work, so I'm going to take it home and give it another spin before returning the unit to its box and researching who I need to contact for support, replacement or, worst-case, a refund.
Arrived today. So far interesting, but one of the big features was netflix streaming -
http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10454299-1.html says it has it, but its not preinstalled and its not on the app store. :(
It said 'edit' then threw away my changes :/
So I found netflix, under menu->menu->video.
I was going to get mine tomorrow, then fedex pushed the delivery to Saturday. It's ridiculous that fedex will delay the arrival time by two days, and still mark it as on schedule.
Received my dash in the mail yesterday. Met my expectations as an awesome alarm clock allowing me to wake up to Pandora radio, check weather and go about my day. I usually don't post, but thought I would pass along an added bonus to the dash. I own an Iphone 4, hooked it up to the dash with the USB cord and the phone started charging. Not that this will make you want to run out and find your nearest dash retailer, but like I said... a nice bonus.
Got mine today 3/31, total DOA. Sony online support referred me to Sony Online Service and Repair. Sony charged me $6 to send it in for exchange. Boo! Makes me wish I'd gotten more Chumby Ones. :(
Mine arrived earlier today (3/31). So far, looking really good. Touchscreen works fine... finding the Netflix and Internet radio station streaming features were the tricky bits, but I did eventually do so.
Granting that all I really wanted was a fancy alarm clock that could handle Internet streams without having to go through Reciva, I am most pleased. :-)
Utterly rockin'! This device is completely worth every penny. To echo, even if it was merely an internet radio device, it would have been worth it.
But then add to that YouTube, Netflix, FB, gmail and other useful features?
Took a chance ordering it, but not such a big chance. First--looked into how much used Dash's were selling for on eBay, and would you know it? Right around the 70/75 dollar mark.
I bought my Dash from Amazon and woot in June. worked OK til tonight when it just died. tried rebooting. called customer support (Philippines). I don't think the customer support person has ever seen a Dash. tried several things . Nothing works. just goes back to the error screen, and then we got cut off! I
