I really wish you guys had put in a tiny webcam on the chumby one. I would definitely be buying a pair of them if I could set one in my house and one in my parent's house and do video calls with them. And from there, the things would spread like wildfire.
Soon I'm certain small, portable webcams with built-in displays will start to pop up -- the tech is easily there, someone just needs to package it up and sell it, and it'll sell fast once it gets out there.
And once generation 1 of such devices is out, gen 2 will be easy to envision, so it'll quickly take off too -- for gen 2 you put in a camera facing both forward and backward and you add features the chumby already has, like web browsing and fm tuner.
Time is limited though -- gen 3 is an iphone with a swivel camera. ;-) And who knows, that might come out this summer, so I guess that kind of shoots this idea in the foot, huh?
