Official Wikipedia app now available in the Android Market

The official Wikipedia app has finally arrived in the Android Market — that sure seemed to take forever, didn’t it? Released last week and already receiving some pretty good feedback, the official app comes to us thanks to Wikimedia Foundation and does exactly what it should do — give fast access to Wikipedia without too much glitz or glam. After all, who needs all that garb when you’re just trying to do some quick, on-the-fly research? The download is 558k, available for free, and requires Android 2.2 or higher. If your device isn’t capable of running it — well, it’s time to get a new phone. You know the drill, click or scan below to pick up the Wikipedia app from the Android Market.

I wonder what @LamyJ thinks of this one? Will we see anymore brilliant tweets from his account?

Application: Wikipedia
Developer: Wikimedia Foundation
Cost: FREE

About the Author

Tony Simons

Android addict would be the two words I would use to describe myself. It’s the first thing I check in the morning, and the last thing I check before bed. I’m 30 years old, my first Android phone was the G1, shortly after its launch. I have also owned a myTouch 3G, and I have a myTouch 4G, which I am absolutely in love with. Other than Android, I’m a father, brother, college student, and almost-full-time employee at a local brewery/restaurant here in the cornfields of Iowa. If there’s anything you’d like to know, please feel free to hit me up. I’m a pretty nice guy, and I respond as quickly as I can. Thanks for stopping by!
