Encyclopodia – the encyclopedia on your iPod

Warning:

This website describes one of the first third-party iPod apps. While this website is still on-line for nostalgia, the app is completely obsolete these days. Don't waste too much time here!

If you're interested in one of my more recent (and, hopefully, more relevant) software projects, check out Dontprint—a paperless printer for scientists.

I want to say thank you to the developers of the IpodLinux-Project for their wonderful work that makes programming the iPod so easy! Also, this software would not be possible without the work of thousands of Wikipedia-contributors.
