Wikipedia is the great argument settler. I can’t tell you how many times my friends and I have had heated debates over some piece of meaningless trivia, only to end it with, “We’ll see who Wikipedia thinks is right.”

There is a whole class of applications in the App Store that put Wikipedia in your pocket and on your iPhone or iPod touch. In this Wiki apps roundup—the first of two I’ll be writing for iPhone Central—I’ll take a look at three paid Wikipedia clients for the iPhone: WikiPDA, Wikipanion Plus, and Look Up: Encyclopedia for Your Pocket.

You get what you pay for
Feature Rich: Wikipanion Plus costs more than the other two apps reviewed here, but its queue mode and search within a page features set it apart. Right off the bat you’ll notice that, at $5, Robert Chin’s Wikipanion Plus costs more than the other two apps. (Note that there’s also a free version of Wikipanion available in the App Store.) Why such a big difference in price? Wikipanion Plus has a couple of great features that set it apart from the less expensive apps: queue mode and search within a page.

Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.
