The New York Times announced Tuesday that it plans to deliver content to the Chumby, a portable, coffee cup-sized wireless device designed for consumers who wish to access a condensed version online, Media Week reported.
The Chumby, designed and launched last year by Chumby Industries, is twice-size of an alarm clock and a mini-multimedia device. Users can use it to view photos, stream videos, and surf on their social networks, among other functions.
According to Media Week, the Times plans to distribute multiple podcasts on this device.
In addition, Chumby users will be able to install a Times widget, which will instantly download breaking news photos to the device’s screen, Media Week reported.
