http://code.google.com/p/wikipediardware/

tells us:

The project's goal is to provide a bunch of software:

    * a set of bootloaders which load a small kernel image from SD
card and execute it.
    * wiki-lib, a library which contains all the application's logic
    * gui-lib, a very thin layer to provide glyph rendering and font
file parsing
    * some simulators (Qt/Cocoa/ncurses) which emulate the hardware to
make development easy
    * the 'kernel' code which is only a small wrapper around the
hardware and uses wiki-lib and gui-lib
    * host based tools to generate the content from Wikipedia sources
(indexing, font file generation, ...)


Especially I'm interested in the first one - the kernel image is
loaded from SD -> to me it sound's like a hackable device.
