Wikipedia Offline for iPhone and iPod Touch

February 07th, 2008 | Category: Gadget News

Patick Collison coded an offline Wikipedia app for the iPhone by his Christmas break considering he likes “the warm fuzzy feeling of having the sum of all human knowledge in his pocket”. For the same reason that we do not own an iPhone yet, he wanted to prevent online Wikipedia users to go nuts by the slow EDGE

connection.

The app takes 2.2 GB and I am not certain whether iPhone users would like to spare the storage space for it. whether you do, watch Patrick’s tutorial video on YouTube about the installation.
