Everybody reading this needs to know about the Chumby. And you all need to get it when it comes out.
What is a Chumby you ask? Here is an excerpt from their web site:
Introducing chumby, a compact device that can act like a clock radio, but is way more flexible and fun. It uses the wireless internet connection you already have to fetch cool stuff from the web: music, the latest news, box scores, animations, celebrity gossip…whatever you choose. And a chumby can exchange photos and messages with your friends. Since it’s always on, you’ll never miss anything.
In other words, it is the perfect gadget. I have thought for some time now that if somebody came up with a gadget that others can hack, both hardware and software, that it would catch on real fast and become very popular. It’s what is wrong with other gadgets.
They’ve even gone the extra mile and are allowing crafters to create mods for it. The outside casing is removable allowing others to create their own. What would be a good hack for it’s external appearance?
I’m thinking of a Chumby in every room throughout the house. A great gift for others, such as grandparents, to show off an RSS feed of you photos. This thing will sell like crazy. Make sure you get yours.
