The Chumby was a cool device (or rather, set of devices) for sure! The common wisdom was that the introduction of the smartphone basically doomed it, but in retrospect you could look at it as something like a before-its-time Amazon Echo Show (which Google is supposedly making a competitor to right now as well)... There appears to be modern market for this type of thing, though newer devices are certainly benefiting from everything that came along with the smartphone revolution like super cheap SoC packages, cheap high resolution displays, cheap capacitive panels, more mainline support for embedded devices in the form of modern Linux kernels, Android, etc.
