I think I know WHY that hack exists in the Chumby's.

Chumby's make great in-home displays for all kinds of things beyond what Chumby sells them publically for,

Sounds like a cheaper, more flexible version of the MiFi.

BTW, this place rents MiFis. Something I'll have to keep in mind for unconferences...

It still needs the modem, so altogether it looks like only $30 or $40 less than the MiFi with the CostCo special, a lot closer at list price.

The MiFi rental thing looks interesting. Thanks.
