Chumby 8, the new model a useful toy for the home

Chumby 8 is the name of the development of Chumby, a device that could be called between digital picture frame and toy. Already discussed the first draft about three years ago because this device has a fairly long life despite being relatively unknown in Spain. The new Chumby 8 is the essence of the first model, but varies the design (it now seems a far more serious and less toy) and technical specifications.

Marvell has a 800 MHz processor, 128 MB of RAM and an LCD touch screen 8-inch 800 × 600 pixel resolution. Clearly one of the biggest changes is on the screen, a feature that lives up to '8 'from his name and very significantly improves the first version, which included 3.5 inches. Other features include memory card reader for flash and of course WiFi connectivity.

But the good thing about Chumby 8 is not the hardware, if not the software that will allow us to surf the Internet, stream music, videos, check e-mail, online calendars and, more generally, any task in the cloud by a small shop with some 1,500 applications of which are already available and free.

With all this the definition that Chumby 8 is a digital picture frame is more evolved than perfect. The price of this toy stands at U.S. $ 200, which already accepting reservations to be sent from next April 5. Still do not know more specific details about his arrival in Spain, but is rather uncertain because it was already difficult enough to find the Chumby Classic ...
