Hi. I heard that there is a possibility to run wikipedia database directly from your sd card (but only on PPC:/). People use a 'TomeRaider' app to that. You can find 'wikipedia' files for PPC on the tomeraider.com website. But as far as i know there's no 'tomeraider' for smartphone yet:/ so this is my question all about: is there any way to run wikipedia on smartphone (NOT via internet or wap, but by opening a wikipedia image file saved on your storage card)??

Thanx for reply...

Regards

You could try Lexipedia. Do a Google search for it. It works OK. Not as good as the TomeRaider Wikipedia on a PPC, but it's the closest thing available. You'll need something like 950MB free for the full database. I think the cost was $20, but it was a while ago so can't recall.

We just released a new app that is the fastest way to access Wikipeda on a mobile phone - over the air. You can download it at http://boopsie.com/dl Same .cab will work on PPC and Smartphone. It also works on Palm OS, Java, Blackberry, BREW.

It doesn't use form submittal. We do live multi-prefix incremental search. It's very cool.

You have to have a data plan. You can try it out in a simulator here: http://live.boopsie.com/home/tryit.html

Install it, then choose Wikipedia from the main menu, then start typing. To find 'Uma Thurman' just type 'um th' and you are there!
