chumby one Internet Clock Radio Launches for $100

There is another Internet clock radio hitting the marketplace, the chumby one. It is similar to the original chumby device (now known as the "chumby classic"), with content available from more than 1,500 applications such as Pandora Radio, The Weather Channel, MTV, CBS and The New York Times. However, the chumby one has a few new features. It has an ABS plastic casing rather than leather, a battery option (using a standard rechargeable lithium ion battery), an FM radio tuner, and a volume knob.

Facebook and Twitter can be monitored, and photos can be shared from sites like Flickr and Photobucket. You can also watch sports clips, play games, or choose from more than 200 different clock applications to display on the touchscreen device.

"We've reinvented the clock radio for the Internet age and at a much lower price than our original device, while still offering the same wealth of content and apps," said Stephen Tomlin, CEO of chumby. "In addition, we have been working with top electronics manufacturers on other chumby-powered devices for the connected home."

The chumby one is available now at the chumby store for $99.95 through November (regular price $119.95). The chumby classic is still available for $199.95.
