Wikipanion Review
Wikipedia i find is the most uptodate encyclopedia with articles and references for real as well as fictional things.. eg: smallville and superman.
You could have imagined my horror when i found that wikipedia is unreadable at full screen and when you 'pinch' to zoom on the ipod touch2g, the words are nice and big but you have to scroll sideways so much that you get a headache (and confused)
WIKIPANION is the killer (best) app for the ipod touch because you can view wikipedia, pictures and all with LARGE FONT without having to scroll left and right.
What makes this application so good is because it is FREE.
Thankyou Robert Chin for writing this application.
For The Wikipedia Fans
By far the best free wikipedia app for the iPhone. Being a fan of wikipedia for it's up-to-date information and open source nature, downloading this app was a no brainer. Only problem was when searching for a keyword that isn't in the database, it gives a blank page instead of page suggestions like the online version has.
