Chumby

Good
A gadget that truly defies simple description, the Chumby is a plush, grapefruit-size, alarm clock cum Wi-Fi–enabled Linux computer wrapped in leather. This fun gizmo can play music and videos, display photos and user-created widgets, or simply wake you up in the morning. For the sleep-deprived or nontechie, using it can be a bit of a challenge. And unless you have thin fingers, you may struggle to set a basic wake-up alarm on its touch screen. Whether a clock radio needs to support this much rich media or should cost $180 is debatable, but the Chumby is certainly an entertaining diversion.
