Wikipedia: Version 1.0 Released!

Waiting period's *officially* over everyone! Yes, you guessed it...the Symbian Wikipedia project has yet again scaled to a new height. As promised, this latest release of the Wikipedia, available as a free download for your S60 phone, now incorporates over 8,500 full-color images! And since it's based on the previous release, that works out to about 3.5 unique images per article!

For those with space constraints on their phones, there's also a text-only version of the Wikipedia that you should definitely try out.

Requirements:

- WinRAR (to uncompress the files). The trial version is available here.
- iSilo (installed on smartphone). The trial version is available here for all S60 devices.

Key features:
- Approximately 2050 full-length articles, more than 8,500 full-colour images and over 3.5 million words (equivalent to a 4,000+ page book in text alone)
- Storage Card & Phone Memory Compatibility
- Keyword Search
- Adjustable font sizes and styles
- Cross Reference Links - tap on a link to easily go to the related article
- An easy-to-use alphabetical index for all articles
- Compatibility with ALL S60 devices, from the Nokia 7650 to the N95 :)

Special Notes:

You can either download this as a single file or for convenience, download multiple "dial-up-friendly" parts.

If you're downloading the dial-up version, please note that you need all 15 parts to extract the file. Once you've downloaded all the parts, simply double-click the first part and specify "series-sixty.blogspot.com" (without the quotes) as the password.

Then just click "Extract to" to extract it on your hard drive. You can later send it to your phone via the Nokia PC Suite or beam it via Bluetooth.

As an afterthought, I think it's the images that can make all the difference, for not only do you get something that's visually more appealing and easier on the eyes, but it also takes us a step closer to finding that perfect replacement for an actual encyclopedia. Anyway, comments/suggestions are much appreciated! :)
