you have to jailbreak, and installation is a bit wonky, but once you get it all going properly, it's almost flawless, minus lack of pictures. you use safari to browse so that's always nice, and all the links between articles work.
it's nice for those who have touches and not iphones. oh and the dump takes up ~4gb so i wouldn't recommend doing it on a 8GB touch.

Oh and e-ink is a massive failure for anyone who doesn't read books.

I'm sorry where do you see "GPSs that have Wikipedia built-in?"
There are many GPS/Media players with more features as well as the ability to browse the web.

First, there's just the plain smiley (colon, right parenthesis)
:)
Simple and fun. Great as a short finishing symbol after a thought or invitation, and one that almost everyone can understand. Smiles are universal, after all. Let's look at some imaginative noses, just to put some sparkle on that smiley.
Here's a pointy nose, pointing up, using the caret
:^)
Good times. We can try other noses, like the clown nose, for more lighthearted fun
:o)
... and for times that require a more agrarian spring or harvest-time spirit, the pig nose
:@)
It's hard to make gender-appropriate festive smileys, but you can make a great halloween smiley of any nose style by putting a 'less-than-pipe) witch hat on top, like this
<|:^)
As long as we want to play with hats, "greater-than" beards can make a charming addition to the more conventional smiley, shown here with a caret nose
<|:^)>
or maybe a fedora
<]:^)>
or maybe a cowboy hat for a western rodeo touch, but be careful, because it might look like devilish eyebrows if the context isn't quite right
<}:^)>
It's fun when you can put a sexy goatee on your smiley, too, using a right-bracket
<|:^)}
And don't forget the semicolon wink for that cheeky touch!
<|;^)}
Be creative, too. The person that gets your email will appreciate it. Try using a happy-tongue mouth from capital p, to add a saucy text-based raspberry
<|:^P}
That's just a start. Grab some sprinkles and your glue gun and a little fun and spirit and you can make your own smileys for any occasion.
Good times.
