Had a Chumby for 3 months now. Love this little fellow. Worth every penny because of all it does. Gets my e-mails for me, plays live webcams, great internet radio, gets me weather forecast in my area and gives me top news stories of the day and much, much more. I get up different times during the week and with the Chumby it remembers each day of the week and what time I want to get up. My cellphone or alarm clock can't do that. One of the best electronic gadgets I ever bought. Chumby only keeps getting better.
My chumby arrives tomorrow I hope :) Ever since I watched Chris Pirillo demo it , I wanted one. One thing you forgot to say is that it uses flash based widgets for displaying information and people are making new ones of these everyday. Also unlike the Iphone, the chumby is open source based meaning anyone with half a brain can program it to be better then what it is. Most people I see like the chumby after a week or two of use as well.
What will they come out with next. An alarm clock with wifi/pictures/music. Thats great. I want to say thanks to Sam and WBKO for keeping us up to date on all the new electronic gadgets that are out on the market. Keep up the good work!
