Touch screen. Streams Internet radio and programs like Pandora. Decent file support.
Touch screen is not very responsive. Useful widgets are few and far-between. Built-in speakers are weak. No Aux input. No audio-out jack.
Stick with your old-school alarm clock to wake up and your computer or smartphone for portable entertainment—the Chumby One is underachieving and overpriced....
Plays range of content from internet sources, local files, and FM radio. You can organize groups of apps together. Motion sensor allows developers to create specialized apps. Optional battery-pack support.
Ads! Can’t program FM radio presets. Video quality is slightly choppy. Interface and attitude sink without the original’s soft physical design. Speaker is lackluster. Optional battery has been discontinued, making it harder to find.

Won't break the bank, Cheap, effective way to stream music, Optional cordless operation
No squeeze sensor, Small display, Looks cheap
Unlike the Chumby Classic -- which has cost anywhere between $200 and $600 over the past couple years depending on color and cover design -- the Chumby One at $100 is cheap enough so that you can effectively buy it without having any idea what you'll use ...
Abstract: The new Chumby One model ditches the old beanbag casing for a retro-clock-radio-inspired look and slashes the price, though the internals are unchanged. It remains a pretty frivolous gadget, yet I can't help really liking it. The Price $100 for a limi...
