Chumby is both content (mostly free) and a device. Chumby content is found on the Sony Dash as well as the Chumby which is a small, handheld "personal internet player". The content ranges from the fun (humorous to weird) to the functional (news and weather). There are hundreds of widgets to choose from. The Sony Dash would just be an expensive alarm clock if it were not for the content relationship with Chumby. Check this page for the latest news and developments on Chumby.

Chumby content has taken on a far greater role than the device itself. The major categories for Chumby widgets/applications (number of widgets) as of June 2010 are:http://www.chumby.com/guide
