Thought for Chumby marketing team - approach product vendors like timepieces (Timex, Blancpain, Tissot...) outdoor equipment (REI, Cabela's, Patagonia) cooking (Kitchenaid, SubZero, Vulcan) to provide "branded" but high quality widgets that represent the essence of that company or its products, or perhaps a new release. This is win-win: Chumby offers a greater selection of attractive widgets without copyright/trademark issues and the vendors get an extra outlet of branded advertisement (hopefully subtle, but hey, you don't have to load the widget if you don't want to), and users can enjoy widgets representing products they love.

For example, I wouldn't mind an official Bell&Ross watch widget. Or a realistic Kitchenaid kitchen timer.
