Looks like Dash is finally coming to their senses. I just received an email stating that they’ve lowered the price on their Dash Express GPS by $100 (which had already happened over a month ago at Amazon) and extended my free connectivity by three months.

Since launching the Dash Express in late March, we’re off to a great start! Every day we continue to grow the Dash Driver Network leading to better, more accurate traffic info to help you in your daily commute. To maintain this momentum and make the Dash Express affordable to even more customers, today we lowered the price of the device to $299.99.

We know that being an early technology adopter has its ups and downs, particularly when it comes to pricing fluctuation. We want you to know that we are so appreciative that you were one of our first customers. As a thank you for your early support, we are extending you an additional three months of free Dash service. This service extension will be given to all customers that purchased the Dash Express on or before May 31, 2008. The additional three months will be automatically added to your account. If you have already purchased a Dash service plan, it will go into effect at the end of the three month extension.

Here’s my original review just in case you missed it the first time around (Here’s a quick three word summary of the review – “Don’t buy it”).
