Wikipedia, Now In A Dedicated Mobile Device


Open source mobile company Openmoko has released WikiReader, a portable electronic version of Wikipedia.


With its monochrome touch screen and the form factor of a sandwich, WikiReader won't be mistaken for an iPod touch. This despite the fact that it's the product of former Apple designer Thomas Meyerhoffer, more recently known for his surfboard designs.

WikiReader

From day one, our goal was to give physical form to Wikipedia,
one of the most interesting aspects of the Internet, so people
can bring it with them everywhere they go. We want to promote
personal growth and the ability to enjoy those unexpected
moments when curiosity strikes. WikiReader is our gift for
those who have the openness to experience life and the
willingness to be changed by it.
