			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://appleiphoneschool.com/icons/wiki2touch.png" align="left" alt="Wiki2touch" />This app is for all of you who need to be a walking wikipedia&#8230; which I doubt is all that many.  Basically, when all goes according to plan (read on), this app gives you access to the entire wikipedia database when offline.  Yep, it puts the whole thing on your iPhone!  Sounds crazy right, it is!  But do not get excited yet, I have not yet been successful in getting it on my iPhone&#8230;</p>
<p>So first off I downloaded the app from the <a href="http://appleiphoneschool.com/sources">Wiki2Touch Repo</a> in Installer.  Then launch the app and it tells me that I need to install the data base, which they have a nice instruction page for.  I clicked the link (on my main pc) to start the wiki database download&#8230;  woah! almost 4gb big!  That took a little over an hour to download, on my cable internet.  Then once it finished, my WinRAR popped up (WinRAR = WinZIP) and asked me if I wanted to extract the files, which I clicked yes&#8230;  whoops. 2 hours later when it finished extracting, I realized I wasn&#8217;t suppose to do that.  (I am a guy, I tend to avoid instructions&#8230;)  Once I re-read the instructions I realized they have a tool for your PC that takes the file you downloaded and &#8216;indexes&#8217; it for you.  So I started up that tool and away it went&#8230; untill 2 hours later (yeah it was still running after 2 hours) it crashed my computer. :-\  I have a decent computer, I was running a few other apps at the time, but nothing to stress the computer, but everything froze and I had to start the process over. So I gave up.  Besides, if you want this app on your iPhone and working, that means you have to give up 4 gigs of memory that could be used for songs/movies&#8230; And I don&#8217;t think the wikipedia will get me through long days at work, like listening to music does.</p>
<p>Since I do not need to be a walking Wikipedia, I decided I wasn&#8217;t going to waste another 2-3 hours of my life on this app.  If you have got it working, please comment!</p>
