The Chumby has always interested me, especially as the prices have dropped and they have expanded form factors. That said the advertising based model of their business, the Chumby is like a squeezebox that always connected to mysb.com, is just the not very reassuring.
I may be wrong, but the Chumby still has these limitations: You can't run a single widget continuously, it will always cycle to other widgets. Upgrades and pushed installation of "recommended" widgets is mandatory, although pushed widgets can be uninstalled. The system is connected to an ad network you can't opt out of. These items have kept me from checking the system out. That and I think they're not forthcoming about the facts above and use linux/open source terminology in a disingenuous fashion. This whole approach makes it more like a customizable Captivate (http://www.captivate.com/) terminal than a system you truly control like Squeezebox. -- sander ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sander's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10737 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79871 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
