Chumby User Experience

First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to my brother aliwangyou, who gave me the opportunity to experience the popular chumby in the United States. I don't even know what to call this in Chinese.

On Wednesday (11.4), I had the honor to receive chumby from friends and friends. I guess I should have been the first stop of this tour. I don't know if it's right. Let's take a picture first,

1. chumby Overview

 

When I first received the chumby, it was an exciting task. I split the package and started to dump. Unfortunately, the company's Wi-Fi network must be configured with a proxy, ah, chumby is useless (at least currently I do not know how to set the chumby proxy mode ). It can be said that without the network, chumby is an alarm clock, and it is wired. It is indeed a product under Web2.0. There is no network and it does not affect my display of this upscale toy. I put it on my work station (Advanced alarm clock) for my colleagues to visit.

My colleagues' first response to chumby is: Yo, this TV is really good. After a round of explanations, I guess you can understand the usefulness of chumby, but most people think that chumby is a useless product, basically Facebook, Twitter, and eBay... These functions can be implemented on mobile phones, and there is no need to plug in the phone. I also have some doubts about such a statement. However, since the United States is becoming popular, it is natural that I still won't use it. I need to go home and think about it carefully.

In the evening, when I got home, I couldn't wait to plug in power, connect to the Internet, and finally OK. Let me try web. Figure-based speech:

What is the true charm of chumby?

 

On the chumby website, many flash-based widgets are provided, such as alarm clocks, news, podcasts, and online radio stations,
YouTube widgets, which are very practical and rich. From this perspective, chumby
It is more like an operation terminal of the Web2.0 Community network, an electronic widget terminal. With this terminal, you can participate in the network community anytime and anywhere to give and share various applications.

This is also the true meaning of Web2.0. Everyone can develop and share widgets, as if they are learning about Apple now. However, there are not many widgets currently, and it is estimated that they will be better in the future. IPhone and apple store are also complementary.

Will I buy chumby if it is sold in China? I don't think so. First, the price is not very suitable, and it is still wired. Second, there are too few widgets in Chinese on the chumby website, and I haven't even found them. With the popularity of chumby, there may be more and more plug-ins, and I may change my mind in the future.
