cute

too bad i don't think it displays images or is even backlit

the reader would miss the pictures like the one under 'gang bang' which make wikipedia worth reading .

An entire encyclopedia for less than the cost of a fast food meal for 4. LOL. Scratch off one more prediction from the list...

Misinformation in the palm of your hand for less than $20! Seriously though, I'm surprised that wikipedia doesn't make its own handheld wiki machine. Maybe then I could read their website without a plea for donations on every single page.

And people are still missing internet sarcasm.

Anyway, I agree that it's highly informative. I refer to it constantly for all kinds of things. But it's inappropriate for citation in my profession or in any real academic setting.

Same with an encyclopedia. But they are or were still useful.

His comment didn't seem sarcastic.
