The Chumby One: More powerful, less cushy
- icefox 17y agoThe new one looks like those horrible TV's that you see at bus stations attached to chairs with a slot for quarters.
- arfrank 17y agoFor $100 I could see this gaining greater adoption. I think one thing that would be beneficial, that they probably have considered, is making the dev platform easier. I'd love to have one and hack with it and even use it as a learning tool, if I wasnt restricted to using Flash Lite 3. (Just looked into it and they have ported a bunch of languages over - maybe the price drop will make this a platform of choice to hack on) EDIT: Link for reference to what I found: http://forum.chumby.com/viewforum.php?id=7 http://forum.chumby.com/viewforum.php?id=7
- CrLf 17y agoOne word: ugly.
- rufo 17y agoFrom the article: UPDATE – Chumby is reporting that the Chumby One is much different from the Chumby shown here. The plot thickens.
- mr_luc 17y agoThis article should be plastered with a massive red warning banner that says: CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE We are, ourselves, trying to develop a product inspired by the original Chumby that we hope will be its competitor. It is called the CrunchPad, and it will arrive in time to play Duke Nukem Forever. In the meantime please enjoy our UTTERLY unbiased opinion on the upcoming next version of the Chumby. The article's contents don't seem valuable, either. They express an opinion about the Chumby and then at the end, say "Oh, except that thing in the picture that we've been criticizing isn't what we thought it was." TechCrunch, are you sure you wouldn't like to impose a voluntary embargo? ;)
