the wikirider from openmoko is a palm- sized electronic encyclopedia containing more than three million english wikipedia articles that can be accessed without an internet connection. Was designed by Thomas Meyerhoffer (my friend...former Apple designer) it has a monochrome touch screen and three buttons that allow you to navigate the content which is stored on a 8GB microSD. it's powered by two AAA batteries 'over costly lithium-ion ones' that should last a year. owners of the device can purchase biannual updates from openmmoko as they become available and parental controls can also be applied to the material. for 99 USD
