Topic: webkit on C8

Since the Chumby 8s have a browser, does that mean they also have webkit installed?

Yes, the Chumby 8 browser is based on WebKit, although a fairly old version by this point in time.

So in principle you could rewrite the control panel in something other than flash for the C8?

Yes, and while I don't have direct knowledge, I expect Chumby Inc was working on that idea before they shutdown, given Adobe's end-of-lifing the Flash Lite technology stack they used.

Re: webkit on C8

The Control Panel on the NeTV was implemented in HTML5 using the WebKit browser - the device ran a small dedicated web server that implemented the interface to the hardware.  The C8 and NeTV were close cousins.

Unfortunately, I don't have any of NeTV stuff - you'd need to track it down on [url=http://www.kosagi.com[/url]bunnie's site[/url].
