I will definitely spare you from explaining out the incredible resources available from the internet in terms of information and entertainment. If you got thus far, you are already probably familiar with those.
Now, the thing is that the people at Chumby.com have come up with the idea of actually playing all that through a small device, the size of a coffee mug. This gadget, which will be sold through this site for $179, needs a wireless internet connection and a power supply, and is on all the time, getting all the stuff you like from the internet and playing it as if it were a TV.

At the site, you can take a look at the technical specifications, browse widgets or purchase a Chumby. However, if you are not sure if you’d actually like to invest in one of them, create a virtual one which you can manage from your computer and see it working.
