WidgetStation

An atomic synchronized clock with a customizable LCD display. Loaded with features including stocks, weather, RSS feeds, desktop PIM integration and photos. Possibly, the most intriguing aspect of this device is its ability to display information "widgets". You can customize the display for pre-built widgets, or build your own on your computer.  Has two independent LCD displays, one mono, and the other in color. A CES Innovations 2007 Awards Honoree with launch planned for early 2007.

I have been wanting to build this very device for almost a year. The inventors of this seem to have gotten it completely right. I can't help but feel like they stole my idea, but there is no way. Check out my comment from a little while back here.

Hi Erik, it's a very cool idea. After I found ProductWiki, seeing that WidgetStation inspired me to sign up to share the product. Your comment reminded me of another in-development product I just added, chumby.
