Chumby: A Cool and Modifiable Internet Clock

by admin on August 31, 2006

How would you like to have a clock that is integrated to the internet? Ever want to have feeds on your clock? Internet technology has brought us many many innovations today. Cool stuffs just pop up everyday. Now, there’s an even cooler idea on how we can integrate a clock to the web. It’s Chumby.

Introducing Chumby, a compact device that can act like a clock radio, but is way more flexible and fun. It uses the wireless internet connection you already have to fetch cool stuff from the web: music, the latest news, box scores, animations, celebrity gossip; whatever you choose. And a chumby can exchange photos and messages with your friends. Since it’s always on, you’ll never miss anything.

Chumby is not ready for sale yet, but when it does, it will be shooting for $150 or less. So stay tuned. Nothing extra to buy, nightstand-ready. With Chumby, you can:

  • Wake yourself up to mp3s, or load up your Chumby with tons of other useful and amusing widgets.
  • For the true geek, the electronics are “hackable,” the case is removable. Your Chumby can look however you like (bling-it-yourself or choose from 3rd party options). Stay tuned — who knows what creative programmer-types will make it do?
  • A Chumby is always on, so it’s a new way to reach people where they are every day. Share photos, personal messages, or birthday greetings. Make the world a little friendlier, chumby-to-chumby.

We are very impressed of what we’ve seen so far with Chumby. I am sure it will be a popular device for everybody who love the internet. Check out the store HERE (Coming Soon – So check back often)!
