It works like an alarm clock, plays the latest music, holds plenty of pictures and it looks like a beanbag…meet the Chumby.
The Chumby is a tiny computer stuffed in a leather pillow.
The 6-inch LCD screen is touch sensitive and with Wi-Fi, it shows everything from news headlines to e-mail.
You can even play games on the device.
Reviews are out on the Chumby and they aren't too hot, but the good news is Chumby Industries can send upgrades right over the Internet to the device.
The Chumby will cost you around $180.00.
