What is a chumby? 

The chumby is a Wi-Fi connected Internet device that enables people to receive a constant personalized broadcast of their favorite parts of the Web.  A little bigger than a coffee mug, the chumby stuffs a world of always-available Internet content into a small touch-screen device that lets you view your favorite Internet sites, videos and podcasts.  You are bidding on a latte chumby.

You can easily program a chumby from your computer to display up-to-the-minute news, sports scores, weather and much, much more and choose from the hundreds of widgets available on the online Chumby Network.  Since the device is connected to Wi-Fi, you can place your chumby anywhere in your home -- on your nightstand, bathroom counter, office cubicle, coffee table, in the kitchen or out on the patio. 

chumbys --- addicting and fun to use --- offer robust features including:

• Free access to the Chumby Network, which delivers a steady stream of content free of charge to users
• Personalized wake-up experience -- wake up to any of the thousands of audio sources available on the chumby
• Fun -- games, humor, e-greetings, gossip, cool entertainment content
• Photo sharing through top phot-sharing sites such as MySpace, flickr, Facebook, Picasa and Photobucket
• Constant updates from top Internet sites
• Monitoring: auction updates, on-going searches, such as Craigslist, Google and friend status updates from my space, Twitter and Facebook

Find some delight and surprise in your day by choosing fun and entertaining channels from the Chumby Network.  Browse the humor, entertainment or lifestyle categories to lighten your day and keep current with culture and trends.  From Letterman's Top Ten video, following your eBay auction to watching the Abbey Road webcam, there's not much this little Internet companion can't do.  With a chumby by your side, you'll spend less time logging on, searching and downloading, and more time viewing, listening, and interacting with web content that's important to you or just plain fun.  The chumby is currently available in the U.S. at www.chumby.com.
