wikilogo Wikimedia Foundation releases official Wikipedia iPhone application

The Wikimedia Foundation, the folks behind Wikipedia, have written their own iPhone application [iTunes link] and it is now available for free from the App Store. ReadWriteWeb is saying the app isn’t very good, that it’s merely just a wrapper for the mobile version of Wikipedia, and that other applications such as Wapedia, Wikiamo and Wikipanion are better.

Who am I to judge? I don’t have an iPhone! Give it a go and let other IntoMobile readers know in the comments which Wikipedia application is best on the iPhone.

For all you other folks running Symbian, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM), or whatever, just point your browser to the official mobile version of Wikipedia: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/
