WikiPock – Store Wikipedia On Your SD Card
Ever wanted to truly carry around the Encyclopedia in your back pocket? I guess that is what Paris based WikiPock was thinking when they created this product. DavidB let me know about this application that essentially condenses all of Wikipedia into a 4GB file on your SD card (without images). Not sure why you could not just search Wikipedia from their mobile site but I guess maybe this is faster… At least I hope so. I still find it impressive that they managed to stuff 2.7 million Wikipedia pages into 4GB that the BlackBerry can actually manage. Now why can’t TeleNav do that?
At $9.99 the application is in no way cheap considering the fact that Wikipedia mobile is free but it might just be exactly what some people are looking for. I could see myself in college with all the answers right a my fingertips…
