I remember posting here that I was buying a Chumby. It is now called "The Bedside Buddy MK2".* Now there are Youtube, Gmail and BBC News widgets available for it, my wife has wholeheartedly embraced it, and it is both late night info fix and morning alarm clock. It was just in the nick of time though as Erin** was eyeing up my N800 suspiciously after I let my kids play Numpty Physics on it (for 2 hours straight!).

* No I am NOT going to tell you what Bedside Buddy MK I was, use your imagination.
** as in "Erin Doors".
