Insignia reveals 8-inch Infocast Internet Media Display, Sony Dash is like ‘brother?’
June 13th, 2010
Maybe we’re just seeing things, but darn if Insignia‘s new Infocast Internet Media Display isn’t a dead ringer for the Sony Dash. Out of seemingly nowhere, Best Buy’s own in-house electronics brand has outed an 8-inch connected display meant to bring glanceable information as well as a slew of web-based widgets to your bedroom / office / den / underground cavern. Boasting inbuilt 802.11b/g WiFi, an integrated microphone, SRS audio and an 800 x 600 resolution touchpanel, the Infocast is equipped with 2GB of internal storage as well as a media card reader, and in case you couldn’t guess, the software is provided by none other than Chumby Industries. Users should have no issues displaying photos, video and music, and the $169.99 asking price is a full $30 less than the Dash’s MSRP. According to Best Buy’s website, this here gizmo is simply “coming soon,” but according to our man on the inside, it’ll be ready for purchase on June 20th. So, who’s down for squeezing a battery into this thing for some makeshift tablet action?
