Hi,
I haven't seen this mentioned in the context of Wikidata yet, so here: The latest beta version of the Wikipedia app for iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod) shows descriptions from Wikidata as summaries in the search results.
If you have an iOS device and want to see it in action, see the instructions here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps#Stay_on_the_Cutting_Edge

Interesting; screenshots appreciated. How does it cooperate with TextExtracts? Does it also do crosswiki searches, like wdsearch? Users and wikis interested in such functionality should install it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Wdsearch.js

The technical questions should be directed to the mobile apps team - Monte, Brion, Dan et al.
My impression is that it simply pulls the description for the item from Wikidata, if a description is available and there's not fallback, but I might be wrong.

Well, I ask where there is interest. :) Crossposted at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Talk:Requests_for_comment/Text_extraction/Mobile_and_Wikidata.
