Well the android app will indeed serve its use for sure, thanks Yuvi,

"For a lot of us, a phone is the only accessible camera. Pretty useful." - Sundar

I'm sorry to say and my apologies too but i think, the statement made is an outcome of an orthodox thought process or merely an fear of inability of exploiting the technology to its fullest use, for today mobile phones are not merely a communication device but far more than it! and considering the future use one should forecast the power of mobile devices and platforms!

"That language is an instrument of human reason, and not merely a medium for the expression of thought, is a truth generally admitted."

apologies again but i find this above statement very irrelevant to the subject of discussion, irrespective of the efforts taken.

Regards & Thanks,

sure :) i recently used one app available on the app store, but more or less not up to the mark, since there is a huge lobby of people who use blackberry in and outside India would be great if we have one to make available Wikipedia handy & on the go!

Hello! I believe that a port of the Android PhoneGap based app is what is currently available in the Blackberry store. It is an old port as well - and no new features / work are planned on that codebase anymore by the Mobile Apps team. The source code, however, is available at https://github.com/wikimedia/WikipediaMobile and I'll be glad to help people who want to contribute to it :)
