Entire Wikipeda Offline for iPhone and iPod Touch
February 7, 2008
The iPhone and iPod Touch are both fairly impressive devices now with their new bumps up in capacity but now thanks to Patrick Collison theres an even better reason to invest in one. Patrick has created an offline Wikipedia App that allows you to store the entire contents of Wikipedia on you iPhone or iPod Touch. Since the app stores the entire contents of Wikipedia on your phone it never requires any internet access. (bypassing the iPhones slow EDGE network) The app itself takes a a full 2.2gb but since Apple upped the capacity of both the iPhone and iPod Touch it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
