Not sure when the SonyStyle site will publish my unfavorable review. Here is what it should say when it does post:

Not all features are delivered
Date: May 6, 2010
Pros: Impressive screen image and touchscreen sensitivity
Cons: The USB port is useless, for now. The speaker is not "sony" quality.
The website says you can: "Access audio, video or photo content stored on mass storage USB devices by connecting to the USB port" -- that may be true in the future, but it doesn't deliver that now. I'm disappointed because I really wanted to play my content on the Dash. This one is going back, and I might buy it again, when the USB port actually does something.

In that review I should have elaborated on my comment about the Dash's speaker not being "sony quality" -- what I meant was, the audio quality of the speaker did not impress me at all. And this is a SONY product? they should be embarassed to have something that costs $200, sound so mediocre.
