Hands-on: OpenMoko WikiReader is simple, appealing

,----[ Quote ]
| OpenMoko's WikiReader is a unique gadget with
| a single function. The simple handheld device
| stores the text of over 3 million Wikipedia
| entries, enabling convenient offline access to
| the popular Internet encyclopedia. We have
| conducted some hands-on testing with the new
| product and found it to be surprisingly
| compelling despite its limitations.

Wireless Cortex-A8 module supports Linux

| Freescale i.MX51 SoC (system on chip), the
| ConnectCore Wi-MX51 includes up to 1GB of RAM
| and 8GB of flash storage, wireless networking,
| touchscreen support, and a variety of other
| interfaces, the company says.

More changes at Openmoko

,----[ Quote ]
| Former Openmoko employees have already started redesigning the Freerunner
| hardware (gta02-core) using only Free Software tools. Werner Almesberger,
| working with many others, has made great progress. Recently, we have released
| more information to accelerate their efforts. In the coming weeks, all the
| design information will be handed over to the community along with all of
| openmoko.org (Wiki, GIT, Trac, Planet, ...). Openmoko Inc. then will act as
| the sponsor of this effort. We will continue to fund all necessary server
| infrastructure and support, in areas where corporate help is needed, future
| open phone development. (Parts of this process will require legal work - so I
| request your patience.)
