Hmmm… weren’t you thinking, wouldn’t it be really cool if I could get my Outlook calendar on my Dash… Well, apparently you weren’t the only one thinking that– and YES you can! How, dear boy, you ask? Well, thanks to the people at FUNAMBOL you can do just that using your Dash Express and the myFUNAMBOL portal. Log into the MyDash portal, search for calendar, create your account at FUNAMBOL and have your Outlook calendar events zipped right to your Dash. Righteous. Take a peek below for details:

Nice, huh? Since Dash has opened its API to developers, expect a bunch of new applications for the device to be popping up in the near future. Those of you with some time can read about it here, or here, or maybe even here.

One of these new apps which I’m sure will be a big hit is Trapster. I only took a real brief look at this, but this application lets users report speed traps and red light cams. Imagine the value of having one of those alerts pops up as you are zipping down the interstate. Sound useful?

What? You haven’t seen enough videos today? OK, here’s one more from Trapster. This demo does not include the Dash Express, however it gives an overview of how the system works.
