Chumby - Application Gadget

CHUMBY- kind of a smartphone… without the phone.

Chumby is a wireless device that allows you to download widget-like applications for use whenever you want. This means your Chumby can have the functionality of an alarm clock or a flickr photo viewer.



Functionality:

Now let us see how this gadget works. According to makers "Chumby takes your favorite parts of the Internet and delivers them to you in a friendly, always-on, always-fresh format. It's a window into your Internet life that lives outside your desktop, so content like weather, news, celebrity gossip, podcasts, music, and more has a place to play away from your world of documents and spreadsheets. Just plug in your chumby, connect to your wireless network, and use your computer to create a lineup of favorites from over 1,000 widgets in more than 30 categories, with new ones arriving all the time. Then let your chumby do its thing—streaming everything you like, from sports scores to stock tips, from video clips to interactive games, from photos to trivia".

To use, simply connect Chumby to your wireless network, and set-up your choice of widgets onto the device. There are over 1,000 applications in more than 30 categories to choose from, and new ones are constantly being created.


Chumby comes in a few colours including latte, varsity blue, pearl, basic black, and limited editions: cardinal and amethyst.
