An anonymous reader notes the announcement by Sean Moss-Pultz (Openmoko, Inc.) of a new geek device: The $99 WikiReader. All of Wikipedia in your pocket with no Internet connection required. Works in bright sunlight. 3-button interface. You can update the information in the WikiReader either by mail (they ship a microSD card) or by downloading a 4+ GB file.

    yeah, there's no use for an encyclopedia with detailed information on all edible plants out in the middle of nowhere where there's no cell access.

    You'd trust Shittypedia on that? Hemlock is poisonous (WP:NPOV No it isn't).

    Country ? More like home suburb.

    I love the insinuation that places that don't already have wireless internet coverage "don't matter". Self-centred asshole, much ? And that is why we have terrorism in this world.
