Connected alarm clock, touchscreen photo-frame, Desktop email reader, Desktop RSS Reader…possibilites are limitless with Chumby.

A decent processor packed inside a soft cushioned, good-to-feel casing, 3.5″ LCD color touch screen, wi-fi connectivity promises to take your ‘connected life’ anywhere you can imagine. Think about a Chumby sitting on your side-tables under the nightlamp, tuning in to your fav RSS feeds/emails in the morning, and being a clock in the night.

Take Chumby on the move, wherever you go. Have Wi-Fi, Chumby can get you online. Dont like the widgets available in the community? Write your own widgets. Dont like some feature or miss some feature, Hack the Chumby! Chumby offers full HDK & SDK and is completely open source, so you can hack the guts.

I think the device holds a good potential in becoming a useful consumer tool, for variety of uses. Chumby should be in market by Summer 2007, and will be priced well under $200. Awesome, cant wait to get my hands on one
