Got one, works well, recommend it to others.

I got one to see what browsing Wikipedia off-line would be like and it's fantastic. Far more useful than I ever thought it could be.

It runs on free software, as I understand the software in the device, and Openmoko promises updates to the Wikipedia data.

I recommend getting one.
