An off line reader for Wikipedia articles for the Apple iPhone or iPod Touch

Targeting the iPhone or iPod Touch platform this project is a reader for Wikipedia articles. The compressed backups can be downloaded from Wikipedia. Not needed data is removed and the result is re compressed. Then an index of the article names is created. The result must be uploaded to the device. Using this software you can then search and display the contents of Wikipedia off line.

Some features

- Very quick and easy searching including suggestions

- The result contains nearly all of Wikipedia's features: Templates, table of contents, all sort of lists, references, and so on. You get any information, nothing is omitted or hidden.

- Even if template support is enabled it's fast. Written in C++ this is a native iPhone/iPod Touch application.

- Templates support: You get everything from the database not only the narrativ text but also the contents of the info boxes.

- More compressed articles database and extremely small indexes in only one file. Saves space on the device.

- Image support (if images are installed)

- Easy installation on the device: Copy and ready or Installer support

- Open source
