Business Wire, May 22, 2008

SAN DIEGO -- If you're looking for unique, user-friendly products for Father's Day gift guides this year, consider the chumby. The recently launched chumby device allows Dad to spend time with his family at home while staying connected to his Internet life. The wi-fi Internet device is a little bigger than a coffee mug, with a screen that displays a glance-able personalized broadcast of his favorite parts of the web: news, photos, music, weather, webcams and sports scores. Always on, it displays - nonstop - what's online that matters to him - whether that's sports scores, stock quotes or surfing conditions! He can choose from more than 700 sources on the free Chumby Network and create his own "playlist" of informative and entertaining content.

Available in three colors from www.chumby.com, the chumby is $179.95 including shipping.

Some important features:

Customized "Dad" content: Dad can personalize his chumby with his favorite parts of the Internet to appear at-a-glance - everything from news, weather and traffic reports to streaming radio, any major section from the New York Times, and news, sports, and entertainment videos from CBS.

Photo sharing: Not only is chumby a cool gadget, but it also serves as a digital photo frame. Dad's chumby can receive pictures from friends and family across the globe through a number of popular photo sites such as Photobucket, Picasa, and Flickr, no matter how far from home.

Sports: Instead of constantly surfing through hundreds of television channels to check the latest scores, Dad can get the latest sports scores, news and rumors delivered right to his chumby from sources like CBS Sports. He can even see the surf report from beaches across the globe in real time!

Business and finance: Dad can easily check his stocks and monitor the market without having to browse the 'Net.

Internet radio: Thanks to AOL SHOUTcast and thousands of Internet radio stations, Dad can enjoy his favorite music and podcasts played straight from his chumby.

Personalized alarm clock: He can enjoy waking up to his favorite alarm tone, Internet radio station, or even the front page of the New York Times being read aloud!
