Well, time for the shameless plug. You’ve probably seen the posts on how the hardware is manufactured. Finally, after much hard work by the whole team, the Chumby is officially launched! If you’ve been waiting to get one, now’s as good a time as any other to buy one. As part of launch, the chumby website got a face-lift, and the launch firmware includes a lot of nice new features, bug fixes, and usability enhancements.
CNET and Gizmodo already have reviews of the chumby up. Chumby also has a set of launch partners, including CBS, Food Network, MySpace, MTV Mobile, Shoutcast and the Weather Channel. These launch partners, along with a growing community of independent widget developers, have contributed to the hundreds of widgets available now for the Chumby.
Congrats b! Love the puppy…
Congratulations!! I’ve had one for a while now and highly recommend buying one! (I’m not biased at all :))
Wow bunnie! The site is awesome! This is going to be a hit!
It’s about time! I may buy one to show off at a hotel board meeting so we can put them into about 35 deluxe suites… though physical security may be an issue.
How does pricing on bulk work anyway? I really like your blog anyway, VERY informative about the process you had to go through, and your personal joy of hardware =)
What??? I had one all picked out and the credit card all warmed up (ok, I actually have the number memorized) and “No International Addresses”?? C’mon, Canada is just barely international.
Sales to Canada please. Pretty please.

I’m with Paul here: let it ship to Canada please!
Hahah, I wish we could sell to Canada! It seemed so easy…but…Canada has mandatory French translations required, among other regulatory issues such as hardware certifications for emissions. Chumby hasn’t had a chance to implement regionalization and international regulatory requirements, and without the right paperwork and translations the customs officers will eventually block our shipments or worse yet, fine us. Or so we’re told.
However, the hardware is getting a certification paperwork to sell in most countries “soon”…in the meantime, I’ve noticed there is a constant supply of new chumbys up on eBay by entrepreneurial folks who have realized they can make money off of this current shortcoming…
does it work in canada
there’s obviously some sql bug in the blog… looks like sql injection may be possible… (and some email leaks too, apparenlty)
btw, how can I get a chumby over here (france ?)
When chumby will be available overseas? If you need efforts to make brazilian localization (pt-br) call me!
the chumby looks cool. i’ll save my pennies 4 one. also like the bunnie studios stuff. saw your coffee mug at my work; very classy. don’t understand all the techie things.
lots of snow in the ‘zoo last couple of weeks. 2 bad u missed it.
Does anyone know if there is another language or set of commands beside SQL for talking with databases?
I’m working on a project and am doing some research thanks
Hi, what blog platform is this? Is it working for you or..? I would really love it if you could answer this question! Regards!
our local shop is giving away some free coffe mugs that are also of high quality,-:’
ceramic coffee mugs are the ones that i prefer to use because they last longer “
