Chumby on Wednesday announced the release of the Chumby 8, the latest version of the uber popular Internet appliance. The Chumby 8 launches on April 5 and is available via pre-order now for $200. It comes with a sleeker design, 8-inch LCD touchscreen, over 1,500 apps, and a handful of enhanced features.
Some key upgrades new to the Chumby line include:
- Two USB ports
- CF and SD card slots
- A new Web browser so you can access links within apps
- Task scheduler
- Flash Lite 4 update to support AS3 (coming soon)
The Chumby 8 certainly looks different than any previous Chumby device, resembling a digital photo frame this time around. If that appeals to your sense to style, you can place your pre-order here.
