Probably, but I don't think it'd be a good idea.

This shouldn't be too hard. Don't have the time right now but here's what you need to do:
Sign up on their page. Set up you channel.
They offer code to embed that channel in a webpage...
The thing is that their "virtualchumby" is pretty much what you want except the ugly box around the screen.
So... find string like this in the embed code: http%3A%2F%2Fwww.chumby.com%2Fxml%2Fvirtualprofile s%2FB26BB7F8-6B3D-11DC-9FAD-0030488CBE0D&baseURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.chumby.c om
convert all the gibberish and you will get a link to an xml file - like this : http://www.chumby.com/xml/virtualpro...D-0030488CBE0D
Now in that XML file are direct links to the flashfiles chumby is playing.
Like this: http://www.chumby.com/xml/movies/BB9...9-0030488E34F8
So all you need is to put some love in a little php scipt and the n800 will be you new chumby
Have fun!
(and let me know if it works for ya)

Virtual Chumby sounds pretty awesome, though.

Alright, was too tempted to try this myself...
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...12993164&hl=en
Ok here we go :
1. get the (crappy) code from http://pastebin.com/m4cc969de
2. Put it on some webserver that supports php
3. make sure to name the file ctest.php (or change line 116 accordingly)
4 .Change the chumby feed address in line 93 to your chumby channel (as described in my prev. post).
5. Enjoy you n770/n800/n810 as a "chumby viewer" works like a charm here.
Please note: The code is just a quick hack. A couple of things are not supported, like custom timeouts for each widget and other time modes. Feel free to add them

I don't have a php server to test this on, but it might make a nice addition to the jablet.net site, Jay. I was playing with a free "virtual Chumby" yesterday and it already has some nice widgets with more being added all the time. The whole project is very open source, open hardware. Nice to see.
Would also be cool if someone could write a maemo screensaver that uses the Chumby streams. Unfortunately I don't code.
