Whoa, it's probably been a few YEARS since I last visited the PPT website. After I got my Dell Axim X50v and loaded it with apps from my HP 1910 PDA, I pretty much stopped buying software for my PPC.

And I've been just fine with what I've got. It's been nice to check-out from all the must-have upgrade stuff.

One thing, though. I have Wikipedia on my PPC thanks to Lexipedia. The makers of Lexipedia (http://www.revolution.cx) stopped creating extracts of Wikipedia, so my files are several years old now. It'd be nice to have Wikipedia on my unconnected PPC.

What, if anything, is available to have all the contents of Wikipedia (not just condensed or truncated articles) available on a PPC that's not connected to the Internet?

If you have TomeRaider, there's a TomeRaider database for Wikipedia, which I believe is reasonably current.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:TomeRaider_database

Checking the TomeRaider website, their latest is May 2008, which isn't bad, but be aware that it's 3.2GB of data!

TomeRaider itself isn't free, and they request a payment of 3GBP (to cover costs and a donation to the Wikipedia foundation) but that sounds more than reasonable to me.

Hope this helps!
