Pocket Wikipedia (Freeware)
 
Here's the link : http://www.free-soft.ro/pocket-wikip...wikipedia.html


Pocket Wikipedia, hand-checked selection from Wikipedia which is about the size of a fifteen volume encyclopaedia (24,000 images and 14 million words)

The selection was made by Schools Wikipedia and is available for download here. This application it's a freeware software, works on PocketPC, Windows and Linux.

Pocket Wikipedia was created to work on PocketPC systems. After that was ported on Windows and Linux systems. Because the large size of the database file all OS versions of Pocket Wikipedia are distributed in one zip archive.

Same here... I would have loved this back on my old PPC2003, but the live WAP site is too easy to browse on a WM5/6... Just how big is this download anyway? Even 1/16th must be pretty large...

Thanks anyway...

I use vtap for wikipedia searches, love it. I call it my 'bar bet buddy', you can prove and collect on those stupid bets now!

Although if I didn't have a data plan I would have to have pocket wikipedia.

yeah, vtap is still an excellent app all-around... wish they'd roll out a new update, they've been quiet for a minute.
