Good coverage compared to Wikipedia's own "version 0.5" CDROM release which had many glaring omissions. Pocket wikipedia still has fewer than 5000 articles though, so coverage is still rather patchy (IMHO you need at least 20,000 articles for a comprehensive encyclopaedia). So you should take the "15 volumes" claim with a pinch of salt: it actually has far fewer articles than a typical 1 volume encyclopaedia! However the articles which are there are high quality and 50 times longer than articles in a printed work (hence the "15 volume" claim). It's nice that most of the pictures are included. Probably good for school homework or for supplementary reading of selected topics, but as a universal reference work its search comes up empty far too often.

Works fine for me; to show images you must turn that option in Pocket Internet Explorer...

Works wonderfully... a good tool for when I need something and no internet connection available - and while roaming.
