David Pogue Gushes Over the Chumby 134
stoolpigeon writes "IHT is running a David Pogue review of the Chumby. The Chumby is a small computer embedded in a soft case. The Chumby hardware and OS are open, and the review mentions that the device already has a large developer following, cranking out new widgets for owners. Pogue is obviously quite taken with the Chumby and gives a good introduction to a device that may be the inspiration for a new generation of hackers."

Oh, goody... so I'm paying for a device that I can supposedly program to do what I want, BUT it's force-fed ads that I can't remove? No. Thank. You.

The Chumby could in theory fit nicely with how you decorate a room.
Their aims are different, the problems they solve are different, why you are comparing them is a monument to the lack of practical sense of most technical people.
