Sony's Dash Gets Netflix Streaming


Sony announced today that its upcoming "dash" personal Internet viewer will feature a dedicated application for Netflix when it ships to retail shelves in April. Netflix subscribers will be able to load up the application and stream their favorite movies and TV shows directly to the device.

According to the company, content can be easily accessed through a Queue-based user interface. Choices from a Netflix member’s Queue will be automatically displayed when the Netflix icon on the device is touched.

Sony's dash personal Internet viewer provides a "vivid" 7-inch color touch screen and is expected to retail for around $199.
