The all new wikireader is here. Designed by openmoko for the sole purpose of reading articles from wikipedia is impressive simple and unique gadget.
This palm sized device contains more than 3 million articles of wikipedia, and the best part is it does not require internet connection; becoz the reader carries information in a memory chip!

The wiki reader is available for purchase for $99. This reader has three buttons namely search, history and random, fits into your pocket easily, 4*4 inch touch screen, LCD display, a virtual keyboard and is powered by batteries which can last for about twelve months.

The content is displayed as text only, yeah right the wikireader can’t display images, or links to outside websites as it does not have net connection anyway

Scrolling is enabled by dragging your finger vertically on screen. The random button can be a way of time wasting and learning new things . Parents may not want to give their children phones even if they can afford it so well wikireader is a better option .

Whats more you can update the reader using wikireaders website or order SD cards four times a year which costs $30

This device rocks for students (if you are ready to pay $99) and for all those who don’t want to fiddle with technology. This is especially very useful to all those who have no access to internet or for travelers as it is portable. But this will be of absolute no use to those who are online 24*7 or use smart phones.

so well its time Indian schools adopted learning the wiki way ! E-learning is definitely in !!!
