Slashdotted today : “Webaroo has added Wikipedia to their services on mobile devices. There have also been open source efforts to deliver it to the iPod (also check out the wiki) or a PDA. I guess if I were still a bartender, this would be a necessity in solving bar disputes before they escalate to fisticuffs.”

Great initiatives I think, if we know that Wikipedia requires 6 GB of free space, 10 GB recommended. Bringing wikipedia to mobile devices will certainly be very helpful especially if its based on offline usage. The only think that still worry me, why should I have 6GB of wikipedia on my mobile device while it’s not something for daily usage, and I’ll never need to know all information available together ? Webaroo is available for Windows Pocket PC 2003 SE and Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC, in addition to a windows desktop edition.
