My name is Florian Amrhein.
I wrote wapedia.mobi, a project that gave mobile phones and PDAs access to the Wikipedia. The service was closed down end of 2013.
I am currently working on a new Wikipedia app for Android, named EveryWiki:

Wapedia
[edit]Having started in August 2004, Wapedia brings the contents of Wikipedia to mobile devices like mobile phones and PDAs. It offers the recent version of every article, which is done by using a combination of a proxy-like behavior and a local article database. This combination provides fast speed and up-to-date articles on the one hand, and a low load and low traffic for the Wikipedia servers on the other hand.
Features
[edit]- Long pages are divided into smaller chunks to fit into the small displays of mobile phones.
- Images are scaled down to the resolution of the mobile device.
- Fast search engine, independent from Wikipedia servers
- Supports WML and modern XHTML Mobile formats, with an autodetection of the best format for each device.
- Several languages - additional languages can be added by request.
- Delivers current versions of articles.
- A local article database provides full service and high speed, even if the Wikipedia servers don't respond or aren't fast enough.
