hmmm...you know, this may work better than having a house netbook for when I have a bunch of friends over.

If anyone has a Chumby, I'd love to know which applications you enjoy using on it... Happy

actually, it makes me want to build a housing for a Nokia Tablet or similar. Something that's also table top with lots of apps.

Lost the cute factor...

I so wanted the original Chumby but it was kind of a lot of money for what it did. I debated for a long time but I just couldn't justify the money. I was very excited to hear that they dropped the price for v2! However, it lost the cute factor! This version just looks boxy and cheap. *sigh* Still considering it though. Maybe after tax refunds? (Assuming I get one.)
