Wikipedia in your pocket

by Juned on February 11th, 2008

Imagine carrying a whole encyclopedia in your pocket. I know you have heard or learned about this before. This has got to be one of the most mentioned blurb for any digital reader that came out of an inventors hands and into the care of the salesmen. Now imagine the whole Wikipedia inside an Iphone or an Ipod Touch.

Meet Patrick Collison. He developed the Wikipedia Iphone App, which you can download here.

Here is the video tutorial of how to install the app.

I can do the same thing with the Asus Eee but it has to be connected to the Internet. This app can do it offline.IMPRESSIVE. I wonder though is this permitted by Wikipedia. Just asking.

Still it is nice to carry Wikipedia in one’s pocket whether online or not.

Have any of you tried this?
