I don't recall if I have shared this in the past. Regardless, it's worth talking about a second time. Sevenval in Germany has created a terrific mobile version of Wikipedia. I highly recommend bookmarking it. The site is awesome for settling bar bets. The funny thing is I once used Google Mobile to do this. Now I find myself turning to Wikipedia more.

There is another wikipedia for mobile devices, at http://wikipedia.7val.com. I've seen some Wikipedia content in mobile devices, but other projects were taken down due to traffic and other problems. Let's see if this project stays up. [Read More]

I like using the mobile version of Answers.com . Say I want to find out about a specific product. When I run a query through Answers I'm given the option to receive definitions from a number of different sources. E.g. Thesaurus, Britannica, Wordnet, Wikipedia etc etc.

This is a great addition. Wikipedia should have provided this themselves!

Cool - thanks for posting.
I also really like mobile.answers.com. It includes a lot more than Wikipedia, in a nice, mobile-friendly format. I find myself using it several times a week, when I want to learn more about something.
There's also wapipedia.org, another mobile-friendly interface for Wikipedia that I've used in the past.

Thanks! I was thinking of building one myself. Now I don't have to spend the time to do so :).

There is another nice service to access Wikipedia on your mobile: called Unyverse.It is a small smart client app which runs on your Java or Windows Mobile phone. Mobile reading is great compared to pure web browser access : you can change font size, read page by page and read articles offline, once downloaded.
There is You Tube demo video here:
