The Wikipedia in your pocket

WikiReader

OpenMoko known from building the first fully open source phone now has launched a new device: the Wikireader. It has the Wikipedia contents stored in flash so it works everywhere. I like the simplicity of the device and the price is only 99$. The  doubt I have about the success of it is that more and more people have a phone with a browser and you don’t want to carry around even more devices. But there might be some niche applications where the Wikireader is a perfect fit.

    I think if its moddable, it can and will be used. I’m thinking about A Young Ladys Illustrated Primer already … ;)
