@nwerneck: Well I think he should be the perfect user for iphone then. That non-too-techy person with the interest to tap into this sort of functionality with the money, but without the time, patience or skill to mess around with linux-y goodness.

I don't get what's so difficult about opening up wikipedia on iPhone's mobile safari though. Or even better with an app called Wiki Tap.

Sounds like he doesn't have a 3G\GPRS data plan or bad coverage from his provider... or you two were too trashed to read? :P

Get aardict and a dump of wikipedia from http://aarddict.org/t/. All that's missing is a "Don't Panic!" sticker :-)

:D The opposite happened to me, since due to the 800x480 resolution the N8x0 is capable of playing CoMI in all its glory.

Hopefully with the efforts to port Qt to iPhone, we'll see cross-platform development for iPhone, Maemo, Symbian, Linux etc
