Having that content customizable and portable to other devices would be ideal. Chumby could act as the software/content provider for these types of devices as well as provide the maintenance and support to the end user. The chumby device is cool but the power is in the content… remember the 3com Audrey? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtP8QRSRrTg Your smart friend is on to something … take for example Samsung’s infolink service available now on the 6,7,8 series lcd tv’s.

I've been putting off buying one because, well, it's just WAY too cutesy for me. I know...it's supposed to inspire love and devotion with its adorable little face and cuddly retro leather inserts...kinda like a puppy without the floppy ears. The spawn of a baseball and a hacky-sack. But that's why I won't buy one, eh? With the women I date, I have enough faux affection in my life. I just want my Chumby to deliver the goods in a sleek-looking Frogdesign case that doesn't clash with the decor in my post-apocalyptic Bladerunner-style digs. I want it to serve up tasty widgets...not be my chum. By. So when will we get Chumby 2.0 already? I’ve been putting off buying one because, well, it’s just WAY too cutesy for me.

That *is* the Chumby way - to be surprised / delighted / shocked / intrigued / puzzled / offended (yes, that too) / diverted / alerted / , just when you *weren't* expecting it. (and in a Douglas Adams / HHGG style I'm motivated to write a widget that insults you ... since Microsoft Bob, I've wanted that...) Hey, make a feature of that - just like the Infocom adventure game of HHGG - it was not user friendly, it was user-hostile! Nice!

When I glance at a chumby I want to know it will have something interesting. An advert is not interesting. If the chumby were to truly be a hardware widget display (in the Windows Sidebar/Google Gadget sense) then I'd buy one, but I'm not throwing down $180 to enable you to push adverts at me. I might not be in the majority on this but I've talked to enough people to know that I'm not alone either! A chumby, as you describe it, sounds great, but you don’t mention the advertising aspect.
