A company called A2rt development launched Hyper Facts, an encyclopedia app for the iPhone that gets information from multiple sources. You may be thinking that Wikipedia offers the same features for free (where as Hyper Facts costs 99 cents), but the idea here is to link multiple articles with Wikipedia content and offer a more comprehensive results along with an interactive map of the world.
In total, there are more than 9 million unique facts included in the Hyper Facts, with each article being interfaced and linked from major encyclopedias. To put it differently, you’ll be able to access information on pretty much any topic, all while on the go.
I’m still not convinced it’s worth a buck considering that money buys you some really neat apps during the Christmas sales. If you think differently or just want to check an additional detail or two on Hyper Facts, there’s an AppStore link at the end of this post…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
