Pocket Hitchikers Guide To The Galaxy (Wikipedia Style)

May 13, 2008 by Will O'Brien 12 Comments


[PKM] decided to breathe new life into a Psion 5mx handheld. He slapped linux on it, added a wikipedia dump to a CD card, and voila: pocket wikipedia. It’s the closest thing to an actual hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy I’ve ever seen. So long and thanks for all the fish!
