Buy a Chumby Nov 29, 2008
The Chumby is a great product. It keeps evolving, you never know what will appear next on it. It's an alarm clock, internet radio, media player and so much more. Everyday there are new widgets and features that can be added. Clocks, weather, games, videos, news, etc. You name it and someone probably has developed one.
Chumbyland is one of the first widgets you should add to it. You pick your chum and send it to other chumby's. You can play games, search for loot, play the lottery, and have chumversations.
Don't think twice about buying a Chumby. It's great.

Don't Hesitate To Buy A Chumby! Nov 22, 2008
I was hesitant to buy a Chumby because the price was much higher than your usual alarm clock. Finally, I had trouble with the alarm on my clock and viewed David Pogue's video of the Chumby once again. I bought one. I have the latte color and I think it's beautiful, but.... what if I should have bought the black? Ahhh! Actually I think I made the right choice. I set the alarm twice in the mornings, one to wake up and one to get up. In between I lay in bed looking at the latest news headlines, weather and assorted other choices. It's a wonder! I don't regret buying my Chumby at all. It's all mine!

Love my Chumby! Oct 29, 2008
Really, Chumby doesn't sound that interesting on paper. A clock radio that can also view pictures? Big deal. The magic lies in the how easily it can be customized, which led to a great selection of user-created "widgets" that can be installed for free. From tracking the stock market to looking at pictures of upside down dogs, and from popping virtual bubble wrap to reading the NY Times, Chumby has widgets you've never realized that you needed.
Even the built-in features are great. My alarm clock is set to wake me up only on weekdays at 6:45 to a spoken version of the local weather report, with a 7-minute snooze and a loud backup alarm after 25 minutes. When the alarm goes off it switches my Chumby to displaying a special "morning" channel with the news of the day and funny pictures. This is, hands-down, the best alarm clock I've ever owned (or even seen).
It's pretty difficult to explain just how great a Chumby is to someone who's never experienced one, so I'll leave it at this: if you've considered getting one, do it.

Wonderful tool for ??? Oct 17, 2008
OK, I bought this because I was bitterly disappointed by my iPod Touch, which cannot receive internet radio (and I bought the iPod specifically for listening to Radio Paradise and NPR). I suppose that allowing the Prince of Darkness's customers to listen to anything other than iTunes must be discouraged. The ritual abuse that Apple customers demand cannot be put at risk! Anyway, the Chumby has no such dark compulsions, and moreover, it has a headphone output, and hooks up quickly and easily to my Klipsch system. Now, this is really liberating - the Chumby receives Radio Paradise and Pandora without a hitch, and in the bargain keeps up a good-natured slide-show of strange widgets (such as a miniature fireplace, weather forecasts, and the sayings of Buddha). Goodbye, possessed and accursed iPod! Hello freedom! Now if I could just figure out what else to do with this bizarre machine...

Great product with amazing potential Aug 30, 2008
This is a great product with lots of potential. Its being constantly developed, there are hundreds of widgets for it, it does a great job streaming from shoutcast and other sources for internet radios, its sound is impressive for the fairly small speakers and it has a great feel thanks to its soft leather casing. Really recommended.
