ars Technica: "Ars takes a hands-on look at OpenMoko's WikiReader, a handheld device that provides convenient offline access to millions of Wikipedia entries."

LWN.net: "As some of you have heard, we had a layoff at Openmoko on Monday, May 25th. First of all let me second the comments made here congratulating the Openmoko team on all that was accomplished.
