    It's not as cute as the last one, but this one isn't covered in leather, so I might get it - really like the idea of Chumby, and if the first gen had been covered in fabric I'd own one now.

    I also am kinda diggin' the retro alarm-clock look, but something just seems a little off. I think I would have to see / use this in person before I decide. But if it's really only $100, I'll probably whip out my CC before I know what's even going on.

    I love the chumby, but the deal breaker for me has been that it can't take batteries, it has to be plugged in. Make room for some AA's and I'm sold, I've wanted one but won't spend money on something I can't take off the nightstand.

    @appletoad: As I understand it, these things were made to be hackable. I'm sure you could find instructions on how to add batteries in if you look around the 'net for a while.

    Edit: yep, googling "chumby battery hack" will get you a bunch of links.

    Oh boy!
    I SO wanted to want a Chumby, but over the long-haul got more bang for the buck from other devices.

    I'm curious to see how this pans out.

    Maybe this will help bring the price if the Chumby down to something reasonable, like $70. I might actually buy one then.

    He had me at:


    "Our flash-based display architecture enables chumby to provide a consistent interactive rich media user experience across multiple devices and screen sizes."


    Sales speak like that just makes me want to race out to Best Buy and open my wallet.

    I am getting tired of seeing anything on the screen other than the content I am trying to watch. The watermarks and other promotions while trying to watch a movie or TV show have become a distraction. I know these widgets can be turned off and/or made transparent, but when they are turned off in the above video and reveal the Sci-Fi Channel watermark beneath, I am reminded that all these layers of add-ons are getting in the way of just watching the show.


    Even simple animated watermarks are getting to be a pain.

    @Sora57: Yeah exactly - actually, as I watched the video, I was half expecting the guy to put stickers all across the TV screen and somehow justify that as enhancing the "rich media experience".

    Seriously people... This is getting WAAY too old. Obama is our next president. Now, lets forget about him, ok? He made a bunch of promises yes, but lets not bring up EVERY GADGET HE OWNS until we know he does something huge for us.

    It's like they sit in a room and giggle as they come up with as many Obama oriented stories as they can. Please guys, the gushing is really getting old.

    @ferris209: After dealing with 8 years of a disasterous Bush presidency, the only thing better than Obama is hearing the cries of the few remaining Republicans. Oh is is like food, nourishment for us liberals.


    Also, this phone is interesting but the screen kinda messes up the look. Also who has a landline? And if you don't connect a landline, who wants something that only sort of looks like an old phone?

    @The Lab: Just remember that Obama is deciding what his policy is based on with people from the previous 8 years, or at least thats what he said he would do in the debate.
