Sony's Dash "personal internet viewer" may have prompted some slight confusion and eventual disappointment when it was introduced among all the tablet madness at CES, but it's since turned into a decidedly more interesting (if slightly less portable) device, and it's now finally available for pre-order directly from Sony. As expected, it runs $199, and Sony promises to start shipping them out "on or about" April 15th -- just in time for that credit charge to get lost among the small fortune you owe in taxes.
