Re: WikiReader
Very interesting device, Sean! What about possibility of connecting external devices? For example, connecting with a pen size handheld scanner seems reasonable for such gadget for avoiding of text retyping. --Oleg 13/10/2009 13:51 +0800, Sean Moss-Pultz wrote: Dear Community! Today, with the greatest of pleasure, I am ready to share with you the birth of our third product -- WikiReader. Three simple buttons put three million Wikipedia articles in the palm of your hand. Accessible immediately, anytime, anywhere without requiring an Internet connection. No strings attached. With WikiReader you'll be prepared for those unexpected moments when curiosity strikes. And once you have it, you'll realize how often you ask yourself questions during the day. WikiReader takes our original ideas of openness and accessibility to an even greater realm. WikiReader is so amazingly simple. There really is no interface. You turn it on and instantly become immersed in the rich world of reading specific topics or the serendipitous pleasure of discovering something by chance. It's perfect for all ages. From the Aha! moment when we held our first prototypes, to the last few months as we worked around the clock to polish every last detail, this product was a joy to make and even more fun to experience. We are head-over-heels in love with WikiReader. Never have I found so much fun in the little moments of curiosity life offers us. Try one and I'm sure you'll agree that we've delivered the essence of reading Wikipedia in an addictively simple form factor. Sales start today at http://thewikireader.com. Enjoy. Tell your friends.

Re: locale the openmoko
I was set up chinese hieroglyphics visibility in my Neo1973 by downloading SimHei font from this location: http://www.webpagepublicity.com/free-fonts/s/SimHei.ttf placing this one to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ directory of OpenMoko file structure and system rebooting.

Quickdirty localization way: 1. Setting up of system locale at the beginning of startup script /usr/bin/x-window-manager. For example, Simplified Chinese for Continental China: export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 or Traditional Chinese for Taiwan: export LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8 2. Append localization strings to desktop files at /usr/share/applications and /usr/share/matchbox/vfolders.

It seems like strange feature (or bug) of openmoko-today, but c'est la vie -- corresponding buttons at main screen will not be clickable :(... 3. If stars will have good positions in the sky, you can see chinesefied application descriptions after OpenMoko starting ;).
