[edit] Deletion

I'm deleting the "this article was nominated for deletion" since I don't see any explanation. --Treekids (talk) 01:16, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why is the image missing?

Why broken link to image? --x1987x(talk) 02:54, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

The image was deleted for having a lack of licensing information. I'll remove the link to it. Angela. 16:16, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Need an photo

Any chumby owners out there- care to upload a photo? We need one that's properly licensed for wikipedia to use. --Treekids (talk) 01:18, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Chumby is described by the company"

What company? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.252.175.189 (talk) 08:04, 8 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Out of Date

The content in this article is out of date... They changed to running Flash Lite 3.0 (instead of 2.0); and the ambient light sensor was scrapped completely - production builds will come with a microphone instead. Sources for Chumby info include: http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/06/23/chumby-one-year-later/ http://chumby.wordpress.com/ http://www.chumby.com/ 65.93.149.194 01:15, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Toned down the Jargon

I found this article to be written in a form similar to an advertisement, therefore I have reduced the amount of technical jargon as well as product names and trademarks that were sprinkled throughout. The reader is left to follow the references at the bottom of the article for more technical information. Although not perfect, the article has a much more NPOV. 1st person pronouns were also deleted.

Would anybody object object in me now removing the spam header? SimonHarvey 09:30, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Spam tag removed. SimonHarvey 22:14, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect Specs?

"...a 320×240 3.5 inch touchscreen TFT LCD running at 12Hz..."

I don't have time to look it up, but there is no way that the LCD runs at 12HZ 74.129.173.244 03:59, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] licensing

A game-studies professor recently noticed that if you develop 3rd-party apps for the Chumby, they automatically own your code (there's an exception for GPL'd apps). That's a bit different from the portrayal on this page, which makes it seem like it's friendly to 3rd-party commercial developers. --Delirium 20:46, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, though a Chumby rep. responded there that that wasn't their intention. I guess might as well leave out of this article until something more firm comes up. --Delirium 22:47, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Price Data

I have removed the price data from this as it is not appropriate in Wikipedia as well as other salesman like text. SimonHarvey (talk) 20:09, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I would like to remove the spam header. The article is still rather marginal (especially the links at the bottom) however the credit card and pricing information has been removed and it reads much less like an advertisment. SimonHarvey (talk) 20:35, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
I agree. Doing so. --Treekids (talk) 01:14, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Updating

So how does it update? using the modified bit torrent or from a direct connection to the chumby website? —Preceding unsigned comment added by SimonHarvey (talk • contribs) 09:01, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Photo request

{{reqphoto}} Thank you Kushal 02:31, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I've uploaded an image of my Chumby and attached it to the article. I've also uploaded an image of my Chumby disassembled, but I have not attached it. Since one of the selling points of the Chumby is the hackability, I thought it might be interesting to see the insides. If anyone wants to attach it to the article, it is located at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Naked-chumby.jpg. Yngvarr (c) 21:26, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
