The ware for November 2009 is shown below. Click on the image for a much larger version.
This is from a brilliant little device that I’m thoroughly enjoying right now. Well-designed, and surprisingly addictive. First person to guess this correctly gets a chumby One as a prize.
As a reminder, if you want to enter a tentative guess without letting everyone else know, you can post an md5sum or a sha1sum of your guess string, and then post the source text for your hash in about a week — but remember to do that, because if you just leave a hash and fail to post your source text, I can’t judge your entry and the prize might go to someone else!

Completely unsubstantiated wild guess, but… Openmoko WikiReader? Running on AA or AAA batteries, with something which vaguely looks like a SD card (or its smaller variants) opening into the battery compartment, the device as a whole is somewhat square, and the way it is described (“brilliant little device”, “well-designed”, “surprisingly addictive”).
(Yes, I know I am supposed to try to track obscure chip names, follow circuit traces to understand their functions, and search the web for FCC filings, instead of submitting the first thing that went through my head; but when I saw the obvious battery compartment and the way it the device was described in the text, I just had to submit my guess. I did not even look at download.openmoko.com for the circuit diagrams and other stuff.)
heh, i tried the other way and it seems S1C33E07 (seiko/epson 32bit risc cpu) is used mainly in handheld devices… like WikiReader. only thing i’m still missing is touch screen controller)
uSD slot and battery layout also suggests this is a WikiReader. (http://seifried.org/kurt/autopsy-of-a-deadish-wikireader/)
To me the most telling signs that this is a WikiReader are the multitude of H-TP_* testpoints (including the ones linked to the three front buttons) and the presence of a LCD (also clearly spelled on the PCB).
Wow, you are right, the testpoints are even *named* for the buttons. Which other device is going to have three buttons named “search”, “tree”, and “random”?
Definetly looks like the wiki-reader. uses the same CPU. the design looks minimal consisting of a dc-dc converter in the lower right and the epson RISC cpu and a generic TSSOP II sdram. The multitude of well labeled test points falls in line with openmoko’s goal of hack-ability. The touchscreen controller could be integrated into the CPU, or just ghettoed with some ADC/GPIO pins if its resistive. Does anyone know if the touchscreen on the wiki-reader is resistive?
It is capacitive: http://thewikireader.com/story.html
“We used a capacitive touchscreen […]”
It’s a Wikireader.

This’d be a nifty device to play around with, it’s got lots of test-points (looks like there are a few unused GPIOs hanging around there, you could hook something up with SPI/I2C; I’m sure) and the MCU itself looks pretty versatile.

I am curious about the unpopulated connectors. The one at the top right (which should be the bottom of the device, since it seems the board is upside down) labeled CON1504 seems to be for a mini USB port; but what would the two to the left (CON1503 and CON1505) be for?
Well, that’s definitely a wikireader. I had a chance to have a look at it, and that’s it. Too bad I’m late!
Obviously fiach got it. That site linked (with the pictures) is going to have a massive bandwidth issue. The pictures they are showing on the main page are full size just resized. It’s pushing out almost 4.5MB for each page load…
Is that the standard way to connect AA battery spring terminals directly to a board? It seems a bit prone to breakage to me…
The wikireader. note: 2 AA battery holder, easy access micro SD card holder in the battery compartment
I am a hacker who is skilled at retreiving passwords to accounts. I require either a Name, Friend ID, or E-mail address of the target account(s). I have the help of a current 0-Day Exploit that allows me to gain remote access to the website servers and from there I find the password which is usually in an MD5 hash from that I must decrypt to get the real password. The entire process takes 30 minutes-1 hour to complete. All passwords are tested out 3 times before they get issued to any clients. I accept Cash and all Major Credit Cards.

Alan, fiach is correct, but he wasn’t able to beat ceasarb’s time of 16minutes!
Here I am checking it out three days later…
I wonder what the contents of jacob’s answer.txt was…
I would guess Jacob got it right too. This one was that easy. Pity it was “first to guess” instead of “best explanation” (though it would be harder to judge then; IMO it would be fiach’s so far).
I think http://www.2600.com/offthehook/mp3files/broadband/off_the_hook__20091111-64.mp3 give same md5 hash.
i not know how secure this method is
As for the security of this method, collisions are not the problem. The challenge is not to find a collision; the challenge is to find a collision that is also the correct answer in a form that I could believe is actually a correct answer…as I mentioned in the post, we’re hashing strings, not mp3 files, or strings padded with arbitrary data.
I suppose you could also hack my wordpress database and just modify your answer reply post-facto (this is just a vanilla wordpress install), although I’d appreciate it if people didn’t try that. Attempts to do that would definitely discourage me from running competitions in the future with larger-value prizes.
Wow I thought it was a photo media viewer like the Epson P-3000.
It is a Chumby One. Or not. :D
Yes, I agree with the post…keep the comments coming…
Greetings just wondering if any one could suggest a good torrent downloader. Preferable free but if reasonable and speedy with massive storage I would consider a paid service.

Do you publish guest posts? I would love to write a couple articles here.
Thanks very much for sharing.
There is no doubt that the Christian louboutin is the best high heels in today’s fashion world.
