As you already wrote, the Chumby has a connector for a 9V battery. With the battery you have enough juice to move the Chumby around the house and/or survive brief power outages [more than 10 minutes].

Much more info is available on their wiki :-)

I read that “wouldn’t it be great if you could move it around the house” comment…

What if you could buy a device that was simpler and so inexpensive that you wouldn’t think twice about putting one in every room?

That’s what I’ve been working on for the last year:
