San Diego-based chumby announced its plans to deliver personalized Internet content to connected devices including digital photo frames and TVs. In its booth the company is streaming chumby content of over 1,000 widgets in 30 categories such as news, entertainment, music, sports, Internet radio and online video clips.
Chumby – which is open source and a fave of hackers – has come a long way from the cute little beanbag-encased design of previous shows…
They’re showing prototypes and reference designs for digital touch-screen photo frames with embedded cameras for viewing and sharing content. Chumby’s media partners include CBS, MTV, New York Times, The Weather Channel, AOL’s SHOUTcast and Scripps Networks.
Chumby also announced a partnership with Samsung for a reference design built on Samsung’s application processor for Web-connected frames that offer drag-and-drop photo and video sharing, social networks, multimedia messaging, games, Internet radio, animation, video, RSS feeds and more.
Additionally, chumby announced a collaboration with Marvell. By leveraging Marvell’s application processor and Wi-Fi chipset, chumby explains that OEMs “will now be able to offer consumers powerful Internet connected devices that deliver rich media experiences.”
