Put Wikipedia on your iPod
Encyclopodia
is software that will load Wikipedia in its entirety onto your iPod. Really. It works with a special version of
iPodLinux but has a clever dual-booting system so that you don't have to get rid of your shiny Apple interface for
listening to music. You can enter text for searches using the clickwheel—not the most efficient, for sure, but
what did you expect?—and navigate wiki links the same way. Amazingly, the entire English Wikipedia (German and
Italian are available as well) fits in under 800MB, which seems like more than a fair trade to have that much
information at your fingertips. Cool.[Via Digg]

spent hours downloading all 700mb and configuring my ipod to work with it, but it doesnt play that nicely. when switching from one OS to the other, all user set options are forgoten; everything goes back to defualt-time, time zone, menu options. kinda annoying.

Itīs amazing how much info can fit in only 800MB. It would be nice to have a way to update it regularly without downloading the whole thing again.
