I have a psp and believe me it would not work for this. It is so dang slow when using the web browser and it doesn't have an alarm (except for homebrew which most don't have)]]>Aug 27th 2006 8:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/Aug 27th 2006 8:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/Aug 27th 2006 9:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/Aug 27th 2006 11:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/
Engadget, the ball used in the game of rugby is not called a 'rugby', similar to the way the ball used in tennis is not called a 'tennis'. Oh, and no, it does not basically do everything your regular computer does. It could come *close* after some extreme hacking and adding on peripherals.]]>Aug 27th 2006 12:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/Aug 27th 2006 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/Aug 27th 2006 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/>>

Are there other competing products like this that are on the market? I would love a customizable touchscreen alarm clock :) ]]>Aug 27th 2006 5:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/
I'd love to wake up to a weather report and schedule for the day.]]>Aug 27th 2006 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/
Truly, you can "wake up with the king." (To steal BK's breakfast motto). King of madness.]]>Aug 27th 2006 8:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/
I personally would like one of these. (I'd throw on a flash animation of Cthulhu!) It sounds like a fun thing to play with, as well as being functional. I really liked a lot of the mac osx widgets, but its not very handy if the computer is in another room. Its nice to have easy, quick to use features that don't require a full blown PC, placed in a nice convenient location.]]>Aug 27th 2006 9:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/Aug 28th 2006 1:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/There's already too much RF in my life, and adding more to the mix isn't too smart IMO
I already have to sleep with a cellphone too close to my bed because I'm on call, and no-doubt WiFi from my own router and various neighbours. Add to that leakage from the mains wiring and everything else in a 15 year old 'modern' house that's conspiring against my cellular wellbeing!
But for US$150 this is a very cool idea]]>Aug 28th 2006 8:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/Aug 28th 2006 5:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/Aug 28th 2006 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/27/chumby-the-snuggly-bedside-computer/
