From the beginning we have had a lot of international interest in chumby — as may be apparent from the numerous user comments on this point attached to almost every post in this blog. We’ve always wanted to offer chumbys worldwide, we really really have, but it just turned out that, for many reasons, this was hard to do and especially hard for a small company to do. I don’t really want to get into all the reasons here, but this topic is belabored on chumby’s user forum. However, we have been working at it and will be offering chumbys for sale, locally and legally, in certain additional countries. First stop is Japan, http://www.chumby.jp/, where chumby launched a couple of weeks ago. We will be selling chumbys in more countries in the future, so stay tuned — but please recognize that it will take us time to establish appropriate distribution relationships and to comply with necessary laws and regulations to sell chumbys in every country.
So, Japan…. Kampai!

Dear Chumby,
as happy as I’d like to feel for our Japanese buddies, I still can’t help but feel a bitter taste in my mouth. Why? Well – you still havn’t acknowledge Europe at all. No statement, no explanation – nothing.
Fine – the reason why you havn’t registrered http://www.chumby.se/ , http://www.chumby.uk/ , http://www.chumby.no/ and so on may be kept under wraps. Company secret. I think we can all accept that. However, I have a really hard time accepting that you still haven’t said a word about Europe. In fact, you havn’t even given us a time plan.
Well – someone has to take the first step, and here’s your chance answering us: when can we expect to be able to buy a Chumby in Europe? Please tell us. We are listening.
