Chumby is an information machine that , give way its developer - approved hackable nature , is designate to become the Furby or Tickle Me Elmo of the gadget / geek world when it ’s released en masse shot in March 2007 . The Chumby does n’t look like much when first punch , but after registering it on Chumby Industries ’ WWW site , the possibilities are seemingly endless , thanks to widgets . Nothing more than mini - programs , Chumby ’s doohickey let you habituate the small gadget just the way you want : load up the appropriate widget , and the Wi - Fi - enabled Chumby taps into your Flickr account , displaying your terrific pictures on its 3.5 - inch touch sieve . Or , why not have it expose the tardy Google News — nay , Gizmodo!—headlines ?
Given the exposed nature of the Chumby , it ’s trivial to laden up a USB thumb drive full of MP3s and have a custom - made MP3 widget . It ’ll even play Divx ( and presumably the more popular Xvid ) file , though the filmdom ’s resolution is only 320×240 .
Basically , Chumby has the possibility to be whatever your sordid petty mind require it to be , which is simultaneously frightening and wondrous forward - face . If all goes according to plan , it should be wide available for around $ 150 in March 2007 .
