Wikipedia Releases An Official iPhone Application

By Adam Pash on August 19, 2009 at 10:00 AM

iPhone/iPod touch only: We’ve already seen plenty of apps that bring Wikipedia to your iPhone, but today Wikipedia launches their own official iPhone app called Wikipedia Mobile.

The application is both free and open source, and while it’s currently pretty light on features (it could really, really use an autocomplete feature), the folks at Wikipedia say that they’re currently focusing on simplicity and speed, but will add features based on requests over time. On top of that, because it’s open source, they claim to be willing to let anyone contribute, so if you’ve got a great idea, you may want to consider lending them a hand.

Wikipedia Mobile is a free download, currently iPhone and iPod touch only.
