Would you believe?

Posted by Ron Coleman on September 16, 2009

WikiPock is a mobile phone application that allows you to search and read Wikipedia articles without an internet connection. All the articles are stored in your mobile phones memory so there is no need to download anything from the network. Its the worlds biggest encyclopedia with over 2.8 million articles in English—in your phone, on the go!

You can get it here.

But — wow.

OK, the catch is you need a 4 GB microSD card for all the data, and of course that means no room for anything else on that card, either.  But you can get an 8 GB card or even a 16 GB card and still store all your other stuff comfortably.  And there’s your Wikipedia, right there in Mr. BlackBerry.

They hate us for our BlackBerries anyway.  Isn’t it worth it to always be right?

  1. Assuming, of course, Wikipedia has some relationship to “being right.”

  2. You can also get a mobile Wikipedia app for your iPhone or iPod Touch that stores a snapshot of Wikipedia in its memory. You need the same amount of disk space free on board to use it, though.

  3. Do any of these apps sync updates?
