New App Turns Your Android into a Chumby
In a strategy similar to that of the Amazon Kindle and Barnes & Noble Nook, Chumby has released its own Android app that bucks the need for a standalone device and turns your smartphone into its own Chumby viewer. The app connects directly with you Chumby account and allows you to access the same Flash-based content found on devices such as the Chumby One. And yes, since it all runs on Flash you will need and Android 2.2 phone to use it.
The Chumby crew is suggesting the app is best suited for tablets and docked devices, even proving a setting to automatically display the application when your phone is in a docked state. You can get in the Android Market now for $4.99.
