[wikireader] There are updates!
I just noticed that there are updated WikiReader files available. Happened a couple months ago. I don't think this was announced on the list at the time (or at least I didn't see it whizzing by). I see that the little gizmo can handle multiple wikis now. You can put subdirectories on the SD card and it knows how to use them. This is excellent. There are a bunch of languages available, as well as English Wiktionary and English Wikiquote. See: http://thewikireader.com/update/ If you want to use torrents for downloading instead, go here: http://dev.thewikireader.com/beta-language-packs/ (That page is labeled 'Beta', but the links now appear to be pointing to the same files listed on the other page.) There's a developer blog too: http://dev.thewikireader.com/ P.S. Can anybody give a list of 16GB SD cards that are known to work in the WikiReader? Or should we expect that they all will work? ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

They just posted the release, so it is not 2 months old. I finally got it downloaded last night, but had some problems getting it loaded correctly. I'll try again once I get home from work tonight. Also, screen keyboard seems to be more responsive. Also, I was able to flash a new boot rom that gives me a Hitchhikers Guide Dont Panic splash screen.

After I make sure everything is working correctly, I'll post the rom image and procedure to flash online. Like any other flash though, you can brick the device.
