Lexipedia
Yip, I am a self confessed reference junkie and always on the lookout for new reference titles. It's great to learn then that the folks over at revolutionary software front, responsible for the popular Lextionary, have released Lexipedia. This encyclopedia is based on the expansive Wikipedia and contains over 550,000 articles. Subjects range from Classics, biographies, the plant and animal kingdom, human history, music, bands, movies, business, military, medical and many more. This streamlined Pocket PC version includes just the summary sections or beginnings of articles however a textually unabridged version will also be available shortly as part of the same product. This application also supports phonetic searching so you don't need to know the exact spelling to look something of interest up. More information and a free demo is available at the Lexipedia website.
