Review: Chumby

,----[ Quote
| So far it’s a nice piece of gadgetry to have around. I’ve been enjoying 
| letting it auto-cycle through a bunch of channels including Woot!, Google 
| News, and others, and occasionally I lookup to see what the Panda at the zoo 
| is doing, which is always fun. I also find myself occasionally playing one of 
| the many Flash-lite based games around, so it’s a key tool for any 
| procrastinator. I could also imagine using it as a reminder tool or alarm 
| clock and even having it cycle through my pictures on Picasa. The 
| possibilities are definitely endless.

Linux gadget to replace the clock radio?

,----[ Quote ]
| Chumby, a venture-backed San Diego startup, is readying a 
| soft, leather-covered Linux-powered gadget conceived as an
|  Internet-era replacement for clock and table radios. 
| Expected to ship in "early summer," pending FCC approval, 
| the "Chumby" device features open, hackable hardware, 
| software, and yes, "outerware" APIs.
