Chumby on sale Answered

Costco is selling the Chumby One for $99 shipped. It's a good deal if you just want to use it for its basic features and an even better one for using all the widgets or if you want to hack it and use it for many other purposes such as making your own 3G router.

i bought it from costco, and it is on my return to costco pile.
it seems in the year of 2010, the chumby, eventhough it has a usb 2.0 port, is unable to let me use a thumbdrive to copy and paste my wpa2 passphrse, which is 64 random characters long . I would consider this standard wifi security. chumby chat and their tech support said i had to enter the 64 characters via their tap tuch screen keyboard. i reminded them it was 2010, and i wasn't going to waste my time trying to enter my 64 characters.
every other item i have that is wifi ,enables me to copy and paste my secure wifi key via thumbdrive or sd/micro sd card.
i cant believe the device is that backwards, and obviously i don't have the patience to enter 64 characters. $100 bucks more and get a netbook with open source operating system., that includes a 6 cell battery, and it is probably a better deal.
