Wikipedia has launched their official application for the iPhone and iPod touch.

This app is focused on being very simple and very fast. Over time, we'll add features based on requests.

The code is 100% open source and community built. If you are a programmer and good at JS/HTML5, then come and help us out!

The application is available now, for free, from the App Store.

Note: requires 3.0 - sad. Hope it will improve as they develop it further - a lot of people who will be using it are not familiar with the open source release schedules. Wouldn't want any pissed off people not capable of accepting that a 0.1 release won't include full functionality..

Not censored? Not even 17+? Hey, what's going on, Apple! Protect our children! Missing features: Landscape view, language selection, commercial advertising.

I doubt I will give this a download. I'll just use mobile safari whenever I need to wikipedia something. not worth crowding my springboard with yet another app.
