Posted by kdawson on from the or-are-you-just-glad-to-see-me dept.

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.

    Have these people never heard of a diff? How about just letting me download the changes! The Wiki can tell them what they are.

    That's worse than useless if I have to redownload all of wikipedia to keep it up to date.

    Luckily I have a smart phone with internet access.
