The Coolest Flash Device Ever?

Posted on by

Dave Winer really digs his Chumby. A ton of people in our community have been talking about and playing with the Chumby for a while but it seems like the Chumby has been turning a lot of heads all over the place.

The Coolest Flash Device Ever?It’s the very first Flash Lite 3 device on the market and the developer community already seems to be blossoming. It’s also a really interesting blend of open source and Flash. I wouldn’t go so far as to say Flash Lite is what makes the Chumby so cool, but it does open the device up to a lot of developers and helps bring home parts of the experience (including video). I don’t have one yet, but hopefully I’ll be able to change that soon.

Have you built any cool widgets for the Chumby?

    This device looks really nice! Even more now I know it’s the first Flash lite 3 device on the market. Please keep us up to date when you find more information about Chumby and sample applications.
    Cheers

    Ryan, check out Moket’s Dizzy Zub Zub which was recently ported from handset to chumby:

    In terms of the device … it’s a fun, “consistent” platform to develop for in terms of Flash Lite!

    I will be sharing soon.

    P.S.

    My all time favorite widget thus far has been the “Chuck Norris Facts” widget. It is hilarious.

    For an example …

    “Chuck Norris does not sleep with a gun under his pillow, he sleeps with a pillow under his gun.”

    I better leave, Chuck Norris may read this, and end me, right here … right now.
