JWD Media-Playing Alarm With Radio, Chumby for Cheapos?

This little box from JWD does pack in a fair number of functions: 2-inch 220 x 176 TFT screen, built-in lithium battery, speakers, 1GB of memory, MP3, WMA and MP4 playback, FM radio and alarm clock. It can even record the radio or a line-in audio source, and has an SD slot for expansion. It doesn't have a touchscreen or Wi-Fi, but this Chumbyesque device is at least fairly reasonably priced: $88 for one, with discounts if you buy in bulk. [Shopkami via Chipchick]

CBS, MTV and MySpace Get Chummy With Chumby Network

While chumby has been available in beta for a while and we had our hands on the final version last week, today is the official public launch of the little Wi-Fi beanbag, as well as the Chumby Network, with big media content partners CBS, MTV, The Weather Channel, AOL Shoutcast, Scripps and more. The network is ad-supported, but you'll be able to watch Letterman Top 10, grab MTV news (the scrolling app I sorta complained about) and more. We'll have a full review later this week of the new fully loaded chumby.

The huggable Chumby Wi-Fi widget box is on sale for $180 in latte, black or pearl. But it's still just for the hardest core: "The Chumby Store is currently only accessible to customers by invitation only." [Chumby]

Chumby Unboxing Video, Looks Chumbalicious

Remember the Chumby? It's that kinda fat, always connected Widget browser. A few production models have gone out to the public, and it's looking pretty good if you fall for their marketing, referring to it as "cute" instead of "obese." (Note: I think it's ugly in black but I dig the leather grips.) More »

WidgetStation Update: Info, When and Where You Want It

This little palm-sized WidgetStation that we reported on two months ago is for real, and was demonstrated at CES. It shows the widget of your choice on its dual screens, and accesses its info via Wi-Fi, Ethernet or a USB connection to your PC or Mac. The left screen features pure data on its monochrome LCD (think time, temperature, any numbers available on the Internet), while the right brings you the prettier widgets (think Gizmodo stories) in full color. Check out a video of the unit in action, plus more info: More »

Latest by Omega: It's supposed to sell for around $300 USD. It looks nice, but it's not worth the money. First of all, both screens are not color. Only the one on the right is, the other is monochrome, and neither of them seem more »

First Look at Chumby: the Huggable, Hackable Information Device

Chumby is an information device that, given its developer-approved hackable nature, is destined to become the Furby or Tickle Me Elmo of the gadget/geek world when it's released en masse in March 2007. The Chumby doesn't look like much when first plugged, but after registering it on Chumby Industries' Web site, the possibilities are seemingly endless, thanks to widgets. Nothing more than mini-programs, Chumby's widgets let you use the little device just the way you want: load up the appropriate widget, and the Wi-Fi-enabled Chumby taps into your Flickr account, displaying your terrific pictures on its 3.5-inch touch screen. Or, why not have it display the latest Google News—nay,Gizmodo!—headlines? More »

Latest by RiceBandit: I actually think this might be pretty useful. Would be cool to use in the office. Imagine being able to swap between a clock, picture viewer (that runs independently), to a calendar (ie Google Calendar), or an RSS feed of more »
