Cute. Leather casing protects device. Stutter-free streaming via Wi-Fi.
Wide range of Internet-enabled widgets. Surprisingly versatile. Cuddliest technology device ever
Not your average sleek black box
Innovative way to deliver Web content
Quick access to Web content and radio without a computer
Many alarm combinations can trigger different music and widgets on each day. Presents data from many internet sources. Streams online music stations.
The Chumby is an adaptable
Fun
Wireless multimedia device made to bring bite-size Web widgets and streaming Internet radio into your home.

The editors didn't like
Expensive. Poor sound quality. Setting the alarm is difficult. Touch screen is quirky and buttons are too small.
PSAs and sponsored widgets appear without your permission. Touchscreen responds to fingernails better than fingertips. Requires power cord at all times.
Pricey
Inputting info can be difficult
No Web browsing or two-way e-mail
No battery
Finicky touchscreen
No web browser means you can’t access some of your favorite content. Mediocre device interface. Widget quality varies greatly. Can’t stream music from local network. Ad widgets might pop into your rotation.
The Chumbys versatile features paradoxically make it hard to figure just what to do with it. The required power adapter limits its portability. If your home lacks Wi-Fi
Then the Chumby is just a cuddly brick.
Touchscreen is finicky. Limited widget scheduling
So daily content gets repetitive. Power adapter connection makes Chumby cuddletime awkward
Power is supplied by an AC adapter that must be plugged in
