Topic: Early '08 launch

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum, i didn't know which to put it in.

   1.How early is the "Early '08 launch"?
(if it's in february i'm so not waiting that long to get one)
   
    2. is there any thing different/better about the chumbys that will be "launched"

Re: Early '08 launch

The devices will be exactly the same - well, they might come in a different box, but that's about it.

Frankly, the "launch" is more about marketing and PR than it is a technical event - more of a debutante ball than a birth typical of more conventional products.  If you're waiting because you think the devices will somehow be different, it would only be that they'd come from the factory with more "final" software than the current chumbys - which will all be updated over the air anyway.

Current chumby owners are actually influencing the development of the product, as evidenced by the features in the Control Panel beta releases.

Re: Early '08 launch

I got mine today.

I'm still baffled on how it took 4 days for the chumby go get to me, in California, from China.

Yet, it takes a week for Amazon to ship me something from Texas.

Re: Early '08 launch

I agree as well.
I tracked my package from China to Vegas.
Was almost as much fun as turning it on for the first time.

I tried to make a "Brith Certificate" widget that would display your tracking info for your chumby.
Too much ice on the UPS site.

I also agree as well,
They chumby bag was innovative,
And an excellent complement to the Chumby.
