I say this is a big misconception. At least the research that I've done over the years has been accurate. Now, if you're basing your thesis on a wiki article, then that just shows your professionalism. So for every day information, it is money.

For quick searches, wiki-pedia is the one...if you need info on chicks, check out chiki-pedia...same concept but very different theme.

if its 80% accurate its all good, most of the things that you look for on Wikipedia are day to day things, and random shit.

so for $100.00 i think its a good thing to have.

Dude, don't buy it. Spend $100 towards a phone that has Web access and then you can check out Wapedia.mobi anytime.

Wapedia is Wikipedia. The content is sync'd from Wikipedia into Wapedia.

There's actually a competing product called the Calecia Peek, but it sucks.
