Chumby Redux
2008-04-16 08:38:00 When I wrote the article appearing in issue 169 of the Linux Journal we had only had George (that's what we named our Chumby) for a couple weeks. We've had him for a couple months now, and George has become well integrated into our family. Things have settled down from the initial excitement we all had when he arrived and now it almost seems like he's always been there, sitting in his corner of the kitchen, there when you need him, and quietly waiting when you don't. That's not to say our relationship has not had some bumps along the way.

A Wi-Fi Gadget for Music and Photos - Chumby
2007-11-07 17:26:00 With today’s ever-faster processors of increasing complexity, it’s good to know that some gadget designers still remember how to have fun. Chumby is a powerful little device with Wi-Fi, a 3.5-inch screen and an interface that you can customize. If you are wondering where the fun lies, it is also covered in leather and has something called a squeeze sensor. Like the iPod Touch, Chumby plays music and has a crisp touch screen, but unlike an iPod its underlying technology is built on open-source software that is ripe for tinkering. Chumby owners are encouraged to create and share programs, or “widgets,†that run on the device. To date, there are about 50 small widgets that do things like display weather information, show the latest YouTube videos and fetch images from the photo sharing site Flickr.Chumby, which will go on sale this month for less than $200 at www.chumby.com, is part clock radio, part Internet news reader and part music player. It can wake you up in the m...
Chumby - The Next Big Craze?
2007-11-04 10:57:00 I know you likely are asking ‘What the hell is a Chumby’? It is a box not much bigger than an alarm clock, but it looks like much more fun than your regular point of pain at 7am in the morning! With a price tag of $180 one would expect something slightly better than the $10 Wal-mart clock. Chumby seems to deliver in this aspect. I have not actually received mine yet, but you can rest assured that I will be writing a comprehensive review as soon as I have it. So for right now you are just going to have to play along with my guesswork. Here is what I know, or at least think I know. Chumby has a 350mz ARM processor in it and 64 meg of ram, it runs a variety of Linux, the exact flavor is as yet unknown. It also comes with two USB ports, a built in speaker, an accelerometer, and a 3.5 inch touch screen. So what does an almost $200 alarm clock do? I hear you ask. Well it has built in Wi-Fi, so if you have a wireless router this little do-hickey will find it as soon as you pow...
