the database seem a bit old, is there an update somewhere? is it using some form of compression to fit the entire database in 2GB ?

Thanks very much for that.
Sorry about the misunderstanding.

iPhonePedia requires 150MB for the *search index*. In addition to that, it requires a 3GB dump from Wikipedia — so Wikipedia.app is over 50% smaller.

Yea, it’s a little much for my 8GB iPod as well.

I cant see the 150 MB one, 2GB is way too much for a 16GB iPod!
