WikiPock: The offline copy of Wikipedia on your mobile

WikiPock is a mobile software that puts all the Wiki Encyclopedia on your mobile phone via a storage card (of size 4GB). The best part is that you don’t need an internet connection to access it.

However, it doesn’t come for free. The price starts at $9.99 if you have your own storage card. If you want WikiPock to send you the program on a 4GB storage card, it will cost $20.

Features:

1. No internet or data connection required
2. A simple interface and easy to use
3. Well indexed articles (around 2.8 million in English) so, as you type your query, you get instant search results on your mobile screen
4. Clean mobile-formatted pages
5. The display time for the full editorial content is very quick, so there is no wastage of time
6. Has an easy forward and backward navigation to read more articles
7. Battery-life saver
8. Preloaded microSDHC™ memory card available on the website
9. Available for Windows Mobile and BlackBerry mobile phones
10. Comes in ten languages:
    • English

However, I am not sure how many people would be interested in paying for a copy of Wikipedia for mobiles, when you can get the same on the Web for free. For those who don’t mind the money factor, I think this service can be a useful one.
