Wikipedia for iliad?

axel77 · 03-05-2008, 08:48 AM

Hi I just bought myself one of the iliads, and 'till now I still love it! (Only the autoconnect to WLAN instead of LAN made me go argh..)

Also just got myself shell acess and the wonderfull hp48 emulator (I loved my hp48!).

But one question, has anybody already accomplished to get a static wikipedia release on the Iliad? (One that works without Inet connection) I know co-workers who have them on their cell phone... So IMHO when a good cell phone can it, the iliad should also, not?

See Wikipedia Optimized for mobile devices. Post #8 points to a mobipocket version, but it is 3.7GB for the english wiki without images.
