There hasn't been much to report on with the OpenMoko project lately, but today a new OpenMoko product was launched: the WikiReader. The WikiReader is a small, mobile device without any form of an Internet connection that has archived over three million pages of Wikipedia. This device, which is set to retail for $99 USD, runs OpenMoko Linux while having just a small monochrome screen and three buttons for controls.

More information on this just-launched product can be found on the WikiReader web-site. Additional details can be found on the OpenMoko WikiReader can be found on the OpenMoko mailing list where Sean Moss-Pultz shares his work.
