Description:	Your chumby uses your existing wireless Internet (Wi-Fi) connection to keep you constantly in touch with your "Internet life," perhaps from the moment it wakes you up in the morning. Compact in size and wrapped in an Italian leather exterior of black, latte or pearl, you plug your chumby into any power outlet, and it finds your Wi-Fi connection and streams your own selected channels of personalized practical information and fresh entertainment. At launch, users will be able to customize their chumby with the latest news, weather and entertainment as well as eBay auction updates, photos, music and more, with additional content from the Chumby Network added regularly.
