This is a GREAT concept! There is certainly a good market for this "concept"; but not necessarily for this device. Although the battery life is very good, and the Wikipedia content is fairly complete (except for images, tables, etc.), the main problem with this device appears to be its user-friendliness (or lack thereof), especially consdering the amout of time it takes to read some of the longer articles. This could make for some serious eye strain, inadvertently pressed buttons, etc.

It should display "DON'T PANIC!" after it starts, because it really reminds me whay Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy is about.

Seriously debating on adding this as another device in my pocket.
The tag for Openmoko is spelled incorrectly.

Great - I already know what to ask for christmas.
