Topic: We need new Chumbys
Could something be done with the Raspberry Pi to turn it into a Chumby? Without new devices the platform seems doomed. Maybe Adafruit or Sparkfun would package a kit.

I think a Kickstarter campaign for a hardware refresh would be an interesting option.
Well, you can run Android on a Pi, and there's a Chumby Android app. Of course, you could just buy a cheap Android phone instead.
well, the pi 2 now sells with a touchscreen for the unit. With a case, and a boot sd card, it could be a really nice chumby, with 2 usb ports and ethernet built in!
