Laptop Magazine have published a review of the Chumby 8 internet device. 'When Chumby first debuted in 2009, it was decked out in fancy Italian leather, making it one of the best-dressed gadgets on the market. But with every release, Chumby has gotten a little less whimsical and a lot more functional. Instead of leather, Chumby 8 has gone plastic, with the front and subdued matte finish available in red or black. With regards to the screen, Chumby 8 is taking a "bigger is better" mantra, expanding to a spacious 8-inch touchscreen from the previous iteration's 3.5 inches. Chumby made sure to include some shiny accents, including two mirror polished side panels and the inch-long home button located on the top right corner. Both panels house built-in speakers, and the right panel also houses the power button along with a 4-in-1 memory card slot and a CF card slot, which is somewhat unusual. The base of the Chumby 8 contains two USB ports, the headphone jack, and the AC adapter port.'
