How to Put Wikipedia on Your iPod

encyclopodia1 How to Put Wikipedia on Your iPod Imagine carrying the world’s most comprehensive encyclopedia – in your pocket

Updated every 6 months, Encyclopodia is a free software project that brings the Wikipedia, to the Apple iPod.

Does not work on new iPods

While Encyclopodia can be installed on iPod generations one to four, as well as on iPod Minis and Photo iPods…

The following iPods unfortunately do not work with Encyclopodia: 5th Generation (Video), Nano, Video, and (obviously) shuffle.  The good news is that if you’re a very technical person, you can try out this alternative method

Not so great for iPod Minis

If you own an Ipod Mini, you’d be a bit squeezed by the massive 1.5GB it takes up on your hard disk (Expect this figure to grow every 6 month as Wikipedia grows and Encyclopodia is updated).

Couple that with the tiny Ipod Mini screen, and you may wonder if it’s even worth the trouble.

…but AWESOME for regular older iPods

On a regular Ipod with a bigger screen and tons of hard disk space however – it’s a different deal altogether.  This application will breathe new life into your aging gadget, ( and  give you something to show off when your friend is flashing his new Nano around :) )

Update: If you have trouble booting up your iPod to either music or Wikipedia, just try holding down the action or rewind, button when you reboot your iPod.

Do not attempt to install this on Ipods not supported by the project.  Read the FAQ for more details.

ps. I own an iPod Mini – and I LOVE using this cool piece of freeware.

So you want the HOTTEST techno gizmo but dont feel like shelling out the dough. You deserve to get freebies. Want Free Things has the top freebies from free Nintendo wii to free electronics such as a free camera, free iPod or free iPhone.
