If you are changing the controlpanel, could you consider making it less "online-dependend"? At the moment I use my chumby without a real wifi, just an adhoc-network with my laptop without internet-connection, which causes some problems:
*) My network configuration ins't accepted by the Chumby because chumby.com ins't reachable.
*) the controlpanel doesn't allow me to do anything else but configuring the network.
*) the sshd doesn't startup by itself even if I touch the correspondent file in /psp/ (Had to fiddle arround to get it run.)
I know beeing connected to the internet is the big main feature of the chumby, but it would open more possibilities if the device isn't blocking everything if it is used in another way.
And a great feature would be if you could check for widgets on the removable storage (for example under /mnt/usb/widgets) and if there are some of them form some sort of "local channel" with them. Then the cumby wouldn't apear so helpless without internet
