Wikipedia in your smartphone! Is now possible


If you’re an info-hungry person like me who’s always wanting something to read no matter where you are, then you should check this out. Wikipedia is a new phenomenon started a few years ago where a free encyclopaedia is available for everyone and it grows bigger because users added more and more information into it’s database. There’s a personal touch to it. As for myself, I frequented Wikipedia for almost everything. From historical facts to fictional characters in books, most of the time, I can find some reliable information off Wikipedia. It will be really great if I can put Wikipedia inside my smartphone.

The Series 60 Weblogs posted the Symbian Wikipedia project, available as a free download originally for S60 phone. The latest release of Symbian Wikipedia incorporates over 8,500 full-color images (about 3.5 unique images per article!).

Key features:
- Approximately 2050 full-length articles, more than 8,500 full-colour images and over 3.5 million words (equivalent to a 4,000+ page book in text alone)
- Storage Card & Phone Memory Compatibility
- Keyword Search
- Adjustable font sizes and styles
- Cross Reference Links - tap on a link to easily go to the related article
- An easy-to-use alphabetical index for all articles
- Compatibility with ALL S60 devices, from the Nokia 7650 to the N95 :smile:
- (I add this - it’s also UIQ compatible, as long as you have iSilo installed)

In order to be able to read the Wikipedia on your UIQ 3 smartphones, you need to install iSilo first. iSilo is actually a universal reader which can be used to read PDB files and also some other formats. With iSilo, it compresses texts and images into it’s own PDB format suitable for mobile.

You can download the Symbian Wikipedia from The Series 60 Weblog. The PDB file is around 90MB after decompression.

Enjoy reading!!! :wink:
