With mesh looming on the horizon, we’ve got a number of exciting wrinkles to unveil.
To start, we’ve got a good old fashioned contest for mesh attendees. PlanetEye (the travel planning startup where I work) is giving away a chumby.
All you have to do is register for PlanetEye at www.planeteye.com/mesh to be eligible. You can enter the contest now or wait until mesh where you’ll get more information in the swag bags. The winner will be announced on the PlanetEye blog after mesh.
So what’s a chumby?
It’s a compact device that displays information from the Web: news, photos, music, weather, celebrity gossip, sports scores — using a wireless Internet connection. You can personalize a chumby by adding small applications (aka widgets). The chumby caused a stir in our office when it arrived, everyone wanted to see the touchscreen and squeeze-based interface in action.
