30 Second Words fully endorses the Chumby as an interesting platform and effective approach to content delivery.

I do not know where Chumby plans on taking this device, but it has a vast potential. Their code is open-source and even the exterior is designed to be modified. There are still some bottlenecks to be worked out, such as podcast delivery and though there is a great deal of quality content, there could always be more.

How I would use a Chumby, I would put it on my desk and read all my blogs in a glance without having the leave the computer. I get entertainment, education, facebook updates, my flickr feed, my queue in Netflix and many other services as I am doing work.
