If the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning is reach for your laptop (without getting out of bed/off the couch), you might like the Chumby. The size of a large fist, the Chumby is a plush gadget with a 3.5" screen, speakers, and Wi-Fi that combines the basic functions of alarm clock, Internet radio, iPod speaker, digital photo frame, and Web browser. Note: It doesn't have its own browser; you get all the widgets you need, including news, blogs, stock quotes, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Flickr, Gmail, eBay, and hundreds more at Chumby.com. Available in 3 colors, the Chumby might not be as cute as the Sony Rolly, but it's a million times more useful, and costs just $180.
