Openmoko new device:WikiReader

As they have advised the new Openmoko Inc. device has nothing in common with his previous product the Neo FreeRunner, its an amazing simple idea, a portable Wikipedia reader, the WikiReader.

It's shipped with a SD card with all english wikipedia and a simple and easy to use browser that make the content ready to go.
it has a 240x200 monocrome touchscreen, and four buttons, one for on/of , search with an on screen keyboard, history, and random.
Works with two AAA standard batteries that due the low consumption of the device last for months Once I(or someone else in the comunity) get in my hands will see how to put the spanish wikipedia or any other content. Due the Open policy about his products  I'm confident the WikiReader can become a fun low power comsuntion device to hack. Willing to have one in my hands and to add in our catalog soon :)
