Internode press release: Internode launches 2009 chumby  Internode has launched the 2009 model of the innovative chumby device, with new colours, better controls and more resilience, as well as announcing a runout sale of last year’s chumby model. Chumby is a breakthrough Internet device that constantly streams your favourite parts of the Internet to its 3.5 inch colour touchscreen. Little software programs, called widgets, stream anything from weather forecasts and sports scores to eBay bids and your favourite online radio stations. Launched in Australia by Internode last November, chumby needs only a power outlet and Wi-Fi coverage to provide touchscreen-based access to Internet content in the kitchen, lounge, backyard or even a bedside table. Wired magazine dubbed chumby one of the cool gadgets of 2008, praising it for bringing “the friendlier face of the Internet into our homes…it did it while disguised as a teddy bear for the 21st century”.
