• $99.95 Price Tag -- That’s $100 less than the original Chumby!
• FM Tuner -- Now the Chumby can trully replace all the functionality of your old alarm clock.
• Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery -- This allows the Chumby to continue to function while the power is out. Hopefully your battery doesn’t explode ;D
• Volume Knob -- Again, it can replace your alarm clock. All it needs now is a sleep button and it’s complete.
• Faster Processor -- 454 MHz from 350 MHz
• 2GB internal microSD card -- A great improvement from the previous 64 MB flash ROM. (Let the modder’s rejoice!)

The downside of the new Chumby One:

• 1 USB 2.0 port -- The Classic has 2
• ABS Plastic Shell -- The new Chumby is not as friendly as it’s predecessor. It lacks the charm that made the old one a nice addition to any desk. You can no longer customize the new one to match your desk and workstation.

While the new Chumby One does have a very reasonable price and offers a few improvements, I do not see myself ever purchasing one. With that being said, it would still be a great Christmas gift for someone you know. (Just make sure they have wireless network to connect it with!)
