I can't even work my regular alarm clock in the morning. How the hell am I supposed to deal with that thing?

I don't dig the Chumby's form factor. Give it to me in a flat Archos-sized device and I'd go for it.

Good. I could transfer all mom's music collection to SDs, she would use it as a jukebox and clock without the wear and tear of CD/MP3CD.
In fact, it could server the same function for me.

It's kinda cool...but I still don't see any real practical application for it. I think I'll keep my $88.

I was really on the fence about Chumby but didn't go for it.

There is no such problem here.
No go.

i don't see how this compares to a chumby. the chumby is wifi and IP enabled and thus it gets live content off of the intertubes. this thing doesn't.

Where is the iPod dock?
What's going on here Gizmodo, this is hardly newsworthy.
