Emailing photos to your Chumby is now simple and easy. Activate this widget and get a free email address to use in delivering photos directly to your Chumby. Once photos are received they are presented in slideshow fashion for you to enjoy. Adding photos to your chumby is just an email away. Update v 1.16d : * Added touch interactions Touch the screen to access the following: * Increment button * Delete photo (from Chumby device only) * Pause slideshow The new version also: * Will remember the last photo displayed and continue from that position in the next cycle * Should load slightly faster than the previous version

    Nice widget. It's have it in all my channels! However, the delete function does not seem to work. If I tap "delete", the image on the screen disappears, but is displayed again the next time the widget runs. Keep up the good work!

    Very convenient widget. I keep my Chumby it at my parents home as a way to entertain and stay in touch. Hope the abiltiy to delete pics is on the horizon.

    Love this widget - Gift Chumbys can be regularly "loaded" with photos, and my niece/nephew enjoy when I send them. That said... I have duplications of images appearing, and I cannot delete any of the duplicates. Can one delete all the images without losing the xxxx@dailio.com email address? Is work being done on this delete issue which seems to be reported by others?

    Can we do forwarding. This would help a lot in remember the address. Also, how do i add the same widget to another channel. It ask me for an account name but everything i enter does not work....

    The delete photo option from the Chumby doesn't seem to be working. Is this a known issue? Otherwise, an excellent Chumby widget, my girlfriend wakes up every morning with new pics while I'm in India on business.

    Great job! Can I assume the server does the conversion down to 320x240? FWIW: the Flickr widget way over-compresses the images. Don't sacrifice quality to save a tiny bit of space. If these guys move into the photoframe business, you're going to have a big hit on your hands.

    I love it! A useful option (or maybe default behavior) would be to make photos display immediately one after the other, instead of having a blank screen with a progress bar. I have the photos set in a 5 second rotation, and the progress bar is a bit jarring and gets in the way of the flow.

    I have up loaded several photo's via my I Phone, it has been 30 minutes and nothing is displayed on my Chumby as yet, does it take a sometime before it comes through? Thank you

    Really like this. I have a question though - does it work with email forwarding? For example, I'd like to set up a photos@mydomain.com address that's a bit easier to remember that will forward to my dailio address. I've done a test, and the one via forwarding hasn't appeared yet...

    Dumb question, but if I already have an account and I delete the widget - then add it again - what is my 8 character account name? Is it the first 8 letters of the Dailio email address? Or is it my chumby name? All these come up with "nope".

    great widget! Already twittered the email address out to friends to see what turns up. It's probably a good thing I can delete photos. :) Thanks!

    This is a very nifty widget. The onscreen Chumby user interface is simple and effective, specifically for deleting tired photos. Like others, I'd like to be able to manage it from a webpage (like Ceiva.com photo frames), and adjust the queue size (say to like 30-40 pix). But, the concept is great and the current version is quite usable.

    Screen clicks to move forward or backward in the list of pictures would be fab, too!

    Yikes...just read this after sending to support. DEFINITELY needs a web control page to delete pix.

    Actually the photos are ordered such that the newest photo is alway the first of the set, photo 20 is the oldest, so as new photos come into the mix, it bumps photos off the end of the queue. We are contemplating some additional features which may inlcude the ability to delete photos, pin photos (so they dont get bumped) maybe even a web management page... we're open to comments and suggestions so make sure you pass any you have along to us.

    Already my favorite widget! The email subject appears briefly as a caption for each photo. Be warned that there is no way currently to remove photos once they are sent, although I am told that there is a 20 photo limit so the 21st photo should bump #1 out of the rotation.
