In other words, you now get to pay $200 to put a box on your desk that
will try to distract you in order to show you advertisements. Oh boy.

Now much more interesting would be if any of the now numerous USB
secondary displays[1] worked with Linux. Not only are these far slimmer
than the Chumby, but you can put anything you like on it, even, say,
using it for your IM to keep that off your main monitors. Some have
touchscreens as well, and others run entirely off USB power.
