 Hi david,
   Did you see this:

http://www.qi-hardware.com/2009/10/17/recent-developments/

  I've got some units in. It took a couple days but we have a browser on the
device and wikipedia.
  It was easy when we just decided to use what the open source community had
already created.
  Looking forward to doing other wikimedia on the device since we have color
and audio. drop me a line

Steve
