Well, we've got the Aux button to replace that. As far as I understood it
it's a simple button press thing.

 What are the features of the chumby?
 Wi-fi connectivity • access to the free Chumby Network • 3.5 LCD
 color touchscreen • two external USB 2.0 full-speed ports • 350 MHz
 ARM processor • 64 MB SDRAM • 64 MB NAND flash ROM • stereo 2W
 speakers • headphone output • squeeze sensor • accelerometer (motion
 sensor) • leather casing • AC adapter included

 I think the GTA02 would handle that just fine.  The only thing it's
 missing is the squeeze sensor.

  Why do I want it? Imagine it like this: Plug your Chumby equiped
 OpenMoko
  device into the USB charging cable (/cradle). Let it sit for a while.
 After
  five minutes of no activity, the Chumby software starts up automatically
 and
  displays flash widgets, just like a Chumby would. With a simple press of
 the
  power button, you get out of Chumby and back into OpenMoko.
  Makes sense, doesn't it? Why get another immobile device if you've got
 all
  the hardware to run Chumby software in your Neo? It might still make
 sense
  if you want a permanent Chumby beside your bed or multiple around the
 house.
  Many people probably would not want to get the hardware twice, though,
 so it
  would make sense to make their Neos work as part time Chumbys. In the
 GTA02,
  we should have all the necessary hardware with accelerometers and Wifi.
