Yesterday I met the guy from Chumby at the Adobe MAX conference, and then last night attended the Birds of a Feather meeting for the Chumby device. Duane was very generous and gave me a Chumby for myself was very cool and I'm looking forward to getting home and building some widgets for it.For those who don't know, the Chumby is a Flash Lite 2.0 enabled Wi-Fi device that is kind of an intelligent alarm clock - but so much more. It has direct "squeezable" and motion sensors that can be accessed by the Flash player, it has in built in web server, Wi-Fi connectivity, possible Bluetooth support and a touchscreen for user input. It's also completely open source (apart from the Flash Lite player) and the concept is for a device designed for the connected teen market, but in a anti-iPod form factor. Way cool and my kids are going to love it when I bring it home!
