I spoke with Sam Licciardi of semantix this morning. Sam's product offers an overlay to any text content that provides contextual word definitions from various sources (Wikipedia, Oxford, etc). He had examples using a Samsung tablet and this very neat little Spanish eink reader. I think it is made by Bookeen and features a touchscreen and hardware buttons. He said that in Spain it is actually offered by their national telecom. Now that would be a cool partnership. Could libraries partner with wireless service providers? Think pre-loaded apps on smartphones or tablets with instructions on how to get a library card!
