T-Mobile Dash Windows Mobile 6 update leaked

WM6 dashCan't wait for T-Mobile to offer its official Windows Mobile 6 upgrade for the Dash smartphone? Better hit up those torrent trackers, because it looks like the ROM upgrade has been unofficially released to the wild.

The update includes all the Windows Mobile 6 goodies you'd expect, plus a couple of new surprises, including a Music Plug-In that lets you add a music player to your home screen, a new email setup program.

The upgrade takes about 10 minutes to complete. But again, we'll point out that the official release should be coming within the next week or two. So if you can hold out a few days, you're probably better off waiting for the supported upgrade, you know, in case you accidentally turn your PDA into a brick installing this update and void your warranty in the process. If your warranty is already expired, have fun!

Test drive a Dash powered by Yahoo

yahoo local on gpsHow would you like to take a test drive one of the only GPS devices that is powered by Yahoo's Local search? The Dash team is looking for you!

We first wrote about Dash, the first internet connected automotive navigation system back in early January. This GPS device, powered by Yahoo Local Search, was once only available as a test in the San Francisco Bay area for 200 individuals. Dash has opened up recruiting and is looking for 2000 frustrated commuters. Heavy commuters and mobile gadget enthusiasts are preferred to test the device on their own terrain and traffic conditions across the U.S.

If you are interested in seeing what Yahoo Local can do for your commuting in your car or truck, check out www.Dash.net and fill out the survey.

Yahoo! Local Search in your auto

dash express with yahoo local searchYahoo! is teaming up with Dash Express, makers of the first internet connected automotive navigation system, to bring users Yahoo! Local Search straight from their GPS. Is this a new feature for the GPS industry? It could be! So how does it work? Users simply enter their local search terms for products, services, or businesses into the Dash Express, and Dash instantly pulls in the results. The results are sorted and presented in an address card format to users. When a local result is then chosen from the list, the Dash Express instantly routes the GPS to the destination. This sounds like an extremely useful application, I cant wait to see it in action, its bound to take the GPS market by storm.

Dash Express will be available in the spring of 2007 in California only, then released out to the rest of the nation in the fall. No word on the cost of the unit. If you are attending CES this year, you can also check them out in Las Vegas at booth #9841.
