Wikipedia

A complete copy of the Wikipedia encyclopedia on your iPhone/iPod. This app is the fastest and simplest way to browse Wikipedia on your device, and, crucially, doesn't require any internet connectivity - it works in a plane, on top of a mountain, and when abroad. (Or, if you're an iPod Touch user, whenever you don't have wifi.)

When you first launch Wikipedia, you will be required to download a copy of the database, which will occupy about 2GB of space on your device.

FEATURES
- No internet access required
- Complete text of the English Wikipedia*
- Instantaneous livesearch of article titles
- Fully functional links between articles
- Navigation trail, so that you can easily engage in the usual whimsical Wikipedia browsing.

Please note that this application's developers are in no way affiliated with the Wikimedia Foundation. However, a portion of the revenues will be donated to the Wikimedia Foundation to support their work.

* Some parts of articles that aren't very useful on a mobile device (such as references) have been excluded, but all of the actual article text is preserved. In addition, only proper articles are downloaded - image descriptions, user profiles, etc., are not included.
