If you had to choose one website that you could keep with you 24/7 (except of course Zath!) then one of the most popular answers would most definitely be Wikipedia — the answer to pretty much every question ever asked.
So OpenMoko has taken the initiative and released the WikiReader which will make the complete catalogue of Wikipedia pages (over 3 million at the last count) available wherever you are whenever you are.
This is done via a pretty nice gadget which looks very similar to the Mintpass person media player that we saw earlier this week: it has a little black-and-white square touchscreen, three buttons and pretty much nothing else.

You may have recently read my a4u Expo London 2009 preview which I wrote after I managed to secure a ticket (rather luckily) in a 
Well, the final Windows 7 release is now upon us; in fact, I received my full retail Windows 7 pre-order copies this morning which I’ll be looking to install as soon as possible, that is once I’ve managed to get some new computer parts ordered to actually build a new computer with. It’s been quite a ride if you’ve been following the tech news of this operating system; it’s had various potential versions (especially for EU customers) and browser options talked about, but thankfully those issues have now all been settled and we have a fairly straight-forward line up of potential versions of Windows 7 to buy.
I’m not really sure what to make of this. When Wii Fit originally came out, I thought it was quite a good idea, then they announced the Wii Fit Plus, but I now personally think they’re starting to go a bit overboard with this new Wii exercise bike release!
The original LG Chocolate proved pretty popular when it was released, and despite the fact that it was new a good few years ago you still see a few of them around — mostly because of its looks which remain pretty stylish. Well, now the LG Chocolate (BL40) is back in a totally different form.
I’ve spent quite a lot of time with the latest 5th generation of the iPod Nano since its release last month, and found it to be a welcome addition to Apple’s holiday line-up with a host of welcome features including what must be Apple’s most leaked update to an iPod with the addition of a video camera.
Is there really a need to tag a child with a GPS watch? Well it seems that every day in the press there’s more news about murderers, rapists and generally bad people and although you’d have a case in saying that a lot of this is just scaremongering, the fact that the streets are more dangerous than they ‘used to be’ is one that you’d struggle to deny.
Back in June, we brought you a preview of the LG Crystal as well as the video preview, and now that it’s been released and we thought we’d have another look and see if the LG Crystal has lived up to expectations.
This weekend I took the chance to attend the second 
About a week ago we brought you a preview of the new addition to the
