Reading Wikipedia on a Mobile phone

If you've got internet access on your cellphone, head to en.wap.wikipedia.org.

If you'd prefer to download all of Wikipedia at once. Pocket Wikipedia is "the widest array of material you can fit into 175 MB", packaged up for Windows Mobile (and Linux). "The articles are hand-picked...and the interface is condensed to offer quick searching and indexing on mobile devices."

You can also download "enyclopedia", which is like "Pocket" but several times as large. Handbag Wikipedia, if you will.

But geopedia is by far the coolest option. It actually sniffs out your iPhone's physical location and displays wikipedia articles related to stuff nearby. (I don't know if it works on the newest iPhones.)

(And there are more options.)

Wikipedia is one of the leading websites of encyclopedia and I think this is one of the best applications for everyone that you can easily get all information within a minute from your iPhone.
