Dash Express GPS Full Drive Review: Total Traffic Terminator

We've been ranting about this internet-connected Dash Express GPS for months. Over the past week, we were given the opportunity to test it out for ourselves on both coasts, over a thousand miles, through intense city driving in SF and NY and road trips into the wilds. It's the real deal, delivering out of the box the most impressive real time traffic system we've ever seen, one that only will get better as each Dash user hit the road creating a swarm network of traffic avoiding drivers. Here's why:

Dash Launches Express on Amazon, Drops Price to $400

These days, all but the most high-end (that is, overpriced) Garmin nuvis cost below $600, so it's great news that Dash—that fascinating experiment in "connected" GPS—has lowered the price of the Express from $600 to $400, and is selling them immediately on Amazon.com. If you pre-ordered, fear not: You will only be charged $400. Friends-and-family types who got devices early will be reimbursed the extra $200. If you want the instant traffic data, the wireless web searches and the periodic upgrades, you'll still have to pay that $10 to $13 subscription fee, but if you're a real cheapskate, you can let the free trial lapse and use it sans connectivity. Press release after the jump. [Amazon; Dash] More »

The Secret to Dash GPS's Live Traffic Data: Networked Crowdsourcing

We're excited about the upcoming Dash Express GPS because it corrects so much of what's gone wrong with in-car navigation. In the end, you get the same green, yellow and red traffic indicators on highways that Google maps gets, plus that on some local roads. No other GPS has this. Because each unit is basically a two-way pager, it records the traffic you experience and shares it with others. It's a simple idea, perhaps, but to really harness the potentially unwieldy power of crowdsourcing, you need rules:

Video-Enabled Airport Express Coming Sept. 12?

Rumor has it that the Apple September 12 Media Event is going to give us a whole bunch of video and video related products. One of these is the Video-Enabled Airport Express. Basically an upgrade of the current AE, which streams iTunes music over 802.11b. An upgraded version that supports video will no doubt be 802.11b/g to support the added bandwidth usage. More »

AirPort Express Stations Frying

Over 200 AirPort Express stations have suddenly burned out, enough to make us—and others—think there might be a bit of a problem. While most of the latest Airports are impervious to this problem, it seems that if your AirPort has any of these identifiers, then you can expect a visit from the smoky electronics fairy some time soon: More »
