Because Chumby is not the only company chasing to give you Widgets in a convenient factor. Sungale is up to that task and since Chumby has not materialized getting into TV’s or Digital Photo Frames yet, then it is a good opportunity to take for other companies while they still can to arrive early enough to the game. That is where Sungale and ID800WT Digital Photo Frame gets in.
I seriously think that having one of these is the way of the future since it not only a digital appliance but also a piece of furniture to a degree. with one of these you replace common radios, weather, note boards, alarm clocks and of course photo frames among other things in a single device.
Here are the details of the Sungale ID800WT:

So it got lot of stuff and seems fairly capable. the only thing i don’t like is the price. in my opinion these kind of things should never go over the 100 dollars line and these will set you back 165 bucks. that is 35 bucks less than the chumb. But the chumby got a better widget platform and it is even more capable than this one since it can even run jajah or quake!. but if you cannot wait for the Chumby to get really portable, cheaper or for it to become a actual frame. This is the best option i have seen so far.
You can read a hands on of the Sungale ID800WT with unfinished firmware at Zatz Not Funny so you can form a better opinion of it, if interested.
