Cool stuff!

I wonder how many times Paul Graham saw this idea mentioned in applications before picking the right team to implement it?

Overall exciting to see these devices slowly becoming popular (Chumby). There is a ton of innovation to occur here.

That's probably a compliment to the picwing guys :) An idea that seems obvious in retrospect is probably a good idea. But I'm betting it wasn't obvious to a lot of people before the TC article. If you said, four months ago, that you wanted to "view your photostream across any medium", you'd get plenty of blank stares :)
Yeah it was a 2ndary idea we mentioned in sept 2007 application. Like do you have any other ideas we may find of interest.

Though we were not looking at it from a hardware standpoint, but social photo software.

Either way its great to see these devices start catching on and congrats to these guys!
