Wikipedia in your Palm

Got a spare gigabyte of storage on your PDA? If so, you can download the entirety of Wikipedia, current to June 2005, in TomeRaider 3 format.

The English version - with images - comes out just shy of a gig (text only is a half-gig); 6 other languages are available as well.

Here’s the whole scoop, from PDA247…

You can now download Wikipedia current until June 2005 with images. It is very nice and weighs in at a cool 933 MB.

Each month 30 thousand new articles are added to the English Wikipedia, and 0.8 million updates are applied. For the German Wikipedia the figures are: 14 thousand articles and 0.3 million updates.
