Will the new Chumby 8 software be available on the Infocast 8?

Since the specs are close, will Insignia allow a version of the new Chumby 8 software?

I am assuming it won't be allowed, but it will be able to be done.

 

Unless they lock down the Chumby8 like the Dash by Sony

 

I think a minor modified firmware file will find its way ont ousb sticks

Hi,

This is actively discussed on the Chumby Infocast8 board.  You can find it on:

http://forum.chumby.com

The short answer is that, yes, you can install the updated firmware, but just

don't expect support from Insignia or Chumby after replacing the personality

of your device.  If you're OK with self-support, it seems to work fine.
