Chumby One gets the iFixit treatment, greets world with a cute hidden message

We’ve already played with the Chumby One and fell for it, so it did hurt a bit when our friends at iFixit decided to rip this cute device apart. Actually, it wasn’t as heartbreaking as we thought, especially when the hackers spotted a cute message below the Kingston 2GB microSD card — containing the firmware — on the logic board, courtesy of Andrew “bunnie” Huang, VP Hardware Engineering and Founder of Chumby Industries. Other notable discoveries include a Freescale i.MX233 processor, Hynix 64MB DDR RAM and a removable “Ralink-based RT2571 USB Wi-Fi dongle” (note: extra USB port!). Feel free to check out the guts after the break — just promise you won’t cry or faint.
