Yea that's called curiosity traffic. It bugs the hell out of me. You go from 70 mph to 45 mph because people are slowing down to watch a guy on the side of the road put gas in his car.]]>Mar 27th 2008 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/Mar 27th 2008 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/Mar 27th 2008 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/Mar 27th 2008 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/Mar 27th 2008 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/Mar 29th 2008 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/Mar 27th 2008 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/Mar 27th 2008 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/Mar 27th 2008 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/
Some of us just won't get caught up in monthly commitments, nor a mere year or two, and we would rather pay a lump sum upfront. As the economy continues to sour and Dash struggles to gain market share from broke consumers who already own GPS' (and have a million subscriptions), I'm hoping they will offer a lifetime service plan for the device.]]>Mar 27th 2008 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/Mar 27th 2008 2:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/Mar 27th 2008 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/
When you say developer program, what kinds of apps are going to be permitted? GPS only or outside the realm of plain vanilla apps?. Also, I see this (like the Neo 1973) as a great enabler of user generated content and apps but also nothing without an installed base. Considering the steep price ($600) would it not be a deterrent for user generated apps in the future?]]>Mar 27th 2008 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/
This is Brandon from Dash. As part of the developer program, we're going to really encourage and try to make it easy for developers to create applications that haven't even been remotely possible on GPS devices to date. Many of our beta testers and early customers have already been taking advantage of the Dash Express's ability to handle GeoRSS feeds, and the developer program is going to go way beyond that. An installed base is definitely important, so hopefully our $399 price point will help to drive more users. What kind of apps do you think would be particular cool on a connected GPS device?]]>Mar 27th 2008 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/Mar 31st 2008 5:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/
Like I stated before, with the way the economy is going, infuse yourself with some cash to gain a base, like TiVo and Sirius. I hate to say this about a neat product, but I smell ooma and VUDU all over this because of the high price. Most companies selling hardware subsidize the price dramatically so they can get you on a contract.

Oh well, just a stupid consumer here.]]>Mar 27th 2008 4:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/Mar 27th 2008 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/Mar 27th 2008 4:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/Mar 27th 2008 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/Mar 27th 2008 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/Mar 27th 2008 5:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/Mar 27th 2008 6:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/Mar 28th 2008 1:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/
The price of the unit and the monthly subscription costs would likely deter me from switching from my Garmin. I already have an internet enabled phone (iPhone) and while the integration into the Dash is elegant, I don't feel that its worth paying for a second wireless internet connection. Use bluetooth to connect to my iPhone and provide the data via the connection I already pay for.

Add to the equation that the other GPS manufacturers are developing similar capabilities, and I remain in a "wait and see" position. I suspect that the NuviPhone will be a MAJOR player when its released 3rd quarter.]]>Mar 27th 2008 6:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/
I hope you can understand why, for competitive reasons, we will not be publishing metro-area sales numbers. However, we are actively coming up with ways to be able to share with prospective customers the strength of the Dash Driver Network in their area. It is worth mentioning that even if you are the first Dash user in your area, your traffic experience is typically very good, thanks to our partnership with premier traffic data provider, Inrix. From there, it only gets better as data from more Dash drivers combine with Inrix's data to provide a pretty complete traffic picture of a metro area. Let me know if I can answer additional questions for you.]]>Mar 27th 2008 6:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/27/dash-express-review/Apr 11th 2008 1:17AM
