I'm a fan of both Wikipedia and Cooliris, so I knew I couldn't go wrong downloading this app. It's really a lot of fun, especially if you like randomly navigating Wikipedia articles, which you can do by simply shaking the iPad. All in all, it's a great way to read Wikipedia. I'm a little surprised there's no amazing 3d effects, given that the app is by Cooliris, but it's a functional and visually appealing app, and it's also free. </p>
