The chumby one – a new faster, cheaper chumby

There’s a new chumby in the wild and it’s called the “chumby one”. This new Wi-Fi enabled device joins the original chumby (now known as the “chumby classic”) and includes new features such as ABS plastic casing, a battery option, an FM radio tuner, and a volume knob. The best part? The chumby one is cheaper than the original chumby – $119.95 vs. the price of $199.95 for the chumby classic. AND for a limited time through November, the chumby one is available for $99.95.

Just like the original chumby classic, the chumby one provides access to more than 1500 applications spanning 30 different categories. You’ll be able to download a variety of widgets including Pandora Radio, The Weather Channel, and the New York Times. Other specs to the chumby one include:

• 3.5 inch LCD color touchscreen display
• Optional rechargeable lithium ion battery – about one hour of power on a full charge
• 1 USB 2.0 port
• 454MHz ARM processor
• 64MB SDRAM
• 2GB internal microSD card
• 2W mono speaker
• Stereo headphone output
• Accelerometer
• 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi
• Dimmable backlight
• One-click control panel access
• Measures 4 x 4 x 3.5 inches

So why is the classic more expensive? The classic is a bit wider, comes in a variety of colors, has an extra USB 2.0 port, comes with stereo speakers, and features an Italian leather housing. On the flip side, the classic has a slower processor, and only 64MB of NAND flash ROM.

If you’re looking for a cool holiday gift, definitely consider a chumby – whether it’s the one or the classic. These devices make great devices for the home or office – offering up information on the fly thanks to a Wi-Fi network and without the need for a PC.
