Mathemagenic

While Europe is conquered by nabaztags (like our own), North America seems to become mesmerised by chumbies. In case you don't know yet...

...chumby, a compact device that can act like a clock radio, but is way more flexible and fun. It uses the wireless internet connection you already have to fetch cool stuff from the web: music, the latest news, box scores, animations, celebrity gossip...whatever you choose. And a chumby can exchange photos and messages with your friends. Since it's always on, you’ll never miss anything.

First seen at danah boyd (who is "a serious alpha-geek hacker, a clever crafter or an accomplished Flash animator" as only those people can play with "precious few prototypes" :)
