What the Devil is a Chumby?
At the beginning of the week at work I was told that I was going to be put on a new project, working on a Chumby. At the time, I had no idea what a Chumby was, but then I checked out the website www.chumby.com and got a basic idea. After that, I took the thing home and started playing around with it (since I couldn’t use it at work because I didn’t have access to the Wireless network), and I was quite enamored with it. I think this Chumby thing is going to be huge.
It’s such a cool little PERSONABLE thing that I think is really gonna hit with the young college crowd shortly after it’s released when there’s more widgets for it. And even if you’re a tech guy living the digital lifestyle, I think you’re gonna like this because you can put it say, in your family room and again-always have an eye on the stuff you care about on the web! If it’s features stopped there, it’d be cool enough, but it also has an an accelerometer in it, a touch screen, microphone and a squeeze sensor! Now most of these features haven’t been used yet in a really beneficial way, but just knowing that they’re there…Well, that’s pretty cool.
So until they come out for consumer use sometime this summer, check out the website – www.chumby.com and see all the cool widgets that have already been developed for it and all the other cool things you can do with your Chumby!
