What is a chumby? 

The chumbyÒ is a Wi-Fi connected Internet device that enables people to receive a constant personalized broadcast of their favorite parts of the Web.  A little bigger than a coffee mug, the chumby stuffs a world of always-available Internet content into a small touch-screen device that lets you view your favorite Internet sites, videos and podcasts.  You are bidding on a latte chumby.

You can easily program a chumby from your computer to display up-to-the-minute news, sports scores, weather and much, much more and choose from the hundreds of widgets available on the online Chumby Network.  Since the device is connected to Wi-Fi, you can place your chumby anywhere in your home -- on your nightstand, bathroom counter, office cubicle, coffee table, in the kitchen or out on the patio.
