Encyclopodia is a free software project that brings the Wikipedia, which is one of the largest encyclopedias on the world, on the Apple iPod MP3-Player. It has been successfully tested on a third-generation iPod and on an iPod mini, but it should also work on other iPod generations.
Installation Guide:
1) Download the Encyclopodia Setup File
2) Connect your iPod to the USB-port of your computer and start iTunes.
3) Click on the player options button at the bottom of the iTunes window and make sure that the checkbox “Enable disk use” is checked
4) Close iTunes, unpack the Encyclopodia installation wizard you have downloaded in step 1 and double-click on “encyclopodia-setup.exe”. If you get an error saying that a device is not ready, click on “Retry”. The wizard tries to access some ports while searching for the iPod.
5) When the setup has finished disconnect your iPod and test the Encyclopodia system by following these steps:
* Switch on your iPod.
* If you have a 1st, 2nd or 3rd generation iPod, hold down the menu and the play button for 5 seconds. If you have a fourth generation iPod or an iPod mini, hold down the menu and the select button for 5 seconds. This will cause the iPod to reboot.
* While the iPod boots, hold down the rewind button unless you have told the installation wizard to make Encyclopodia the default system.
6) If everything went fine, go to the Ebook library, download some .epodia-Files, such as the Wikipedia in your language and copy the files into the following directory on the harddrive of your iPod: “G:\data\encyclopodia\library\” (where “G:” is the harddrive of your iPod; it might have a different letter on your computer).
That’s it! Enjoy the entire Wikipedia on your iPod.
You made some good points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your blog.
I like your style, the fact that your site is a little bit different makes it so interesting, I get fed up of seeing same-old-same-old all of the time. I’ve just stumbled this page for you 😀
