The Chumby Is Open, but Not for Business
- brk 19y agoI like the Chumby itself overall, but this business model is just terribly flawed. People don't want to be "advertised to", many people go to great lengths to avoid or remove advertisements, and this trend is growing not shrinking. Chumby's will be $99 for a 3 pack on Woot in a year or 2. Their business model is also a little bit like the carriers wanting to charge the mega content sites (Google) to carry their packets.
- fuzzythinker 19y agoThe last I heard is it runs on AC power ONLY. If it's still true (the web site doesn't seem to say otherwise), it will fend off potential buyers, including myself.
