Chumby - Your WiFi Touchscreen Friend
Here's a new device that has lots of potential in a home automation system. The "Chumby" is a wifi enabled 3.5" TFT LCD touchscreen with stereo speakers... "Favorite hardware hacker Bunnie Huang gave this year's FOO Campers a sneak peek of the latest in cool gadgets: the chumby. The chumby is a low-cost, wifi-enabled information delivery device that's so appealing you'll want to keep one close.
Chumby's team of hardware hackers wanted this device to be fun and open, the anti-iPod. While iPod has a clean look and expensive molded plastic, it's not very accessible. The Chumby is meant to be personalized. If you're crafty, you can redesign it with a seam ripper; if you're a hacker, it's all open source inside.
