Wikipedia in your pocket
One of my favorite aspects of my iPhone is the constant access to information, especially Wikipedia. While sometimes of questionable accuracy, it's still a huge compendium of the worlds knowledge of nearly everything.
For those who are too young, or not inclined to have a "smart phone", the Wikireader looks like a really cool gadget. A single-purpose device for browsing articles, with the entire Wikipedia database in memory. The screen is black and white, and it doesn't do pictures, but you get all the answers at your fingertips, with an extremely long battery life and no need for signal.
I think it would be a great gift to my little cousins when they get old enough.
