I have a true love for Wikipedia: I always wanted to take the power of information with in my pocket. My good old iPod, which i bought in 2005 was not good enough for the task: you’d need to install a linux on it to get the work done - well, Linux is fine on the Desktop, but not my gadgets!

The world had to wait until 2008, when Mr Patric Collison came out with the ultimate software, an interface to the wikipedia bulk xml based database dump. On his site, you can find all information on installing Wikipedia on your iPod Touch or iPhone.

I advise you to download the English dump file via The Pirate Bay, the best torrent tracker on Planet Earth.

I created a dummy video about my progress:

I got my iPod Touch as a gift from my previous company for Christmas, and I’m so happy with it - thank you guys again

Being a geek myself, of course I found a way to hack it; and optimized my sites and stuff to be usable on the new platform: Apple Safari Mobile.
With the new 1.1.4 software upgrade, you can add nice webicon to the Touch’s interface:

All you need to do is to create a custom PNG image like this one:  and reference it in the parent webpage’s header section:

<link href=”/img/apple-icon.png” rel=”apple-touch-icon” type=”image/png” />
