Sony has recently sent an automatic update (4.0.91) to all Dash owners which adds several interesting new features. Sony has added Shoutcast internet radio, shortcut to access any app with app gallery, and some speed improvements.
I’m really proud of the Dash team for consistently updating this product with new firmware and features. Many consumers develop loyalty with brands who reward owners with updates to their devices long after they purchase them. Plus, it’s super easy to update the Dash – the update automatically downloads for you and is installed when you unplug it and plug it back in. It’s great having the ability to update without requiring a computer.
Here is an official list of what has been added/changed:
- Shoutcast has been added as an available Internet Radio service. You can also wake up to your favorite Shoutcast station, if you set it as your alarm (just like with other internet radio and video services).
- We’ve added a shortcut to easily access any app in your channel. A new icon on the Command Bar will bring up a gallery of app thumbnails in your channel. Touch the app you want and your dash will skip to it.
- When you add or delete an app in your channel, these changes will appear much faster on your Dash.
