5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
TiniWiki has been developed and is being marketed and supported by NICTA subsidiary mContext. The company has already set up a website (www.tiniwiki.com ) to promote the application and claims it is available on Apple iTunes. However when iTWire checked late on 11 May it was not listed. And tiniwiki.com gives no indication of how much storage TiniWiki takes up but we'd be surprised if you have room for too many songs etc once you've put the whole of Wikipedia on your iPhone. NICTA says the technology can be applied to non-Wikipedia content and "will enable users to carry and access extremely large sets of information (eg reference manuals, emergency procedures, media information, etc)." It also promises that "TiniWiki for Windows Mobile and J2ME devices are under beta test and will be available to public soon," and says: "The technology is processor-friendly and can run on virtually any smart-phone device." Footnote: iTWire will be checking out TiniWiki at the NICTA stand at CeBit and we'll be updating this article afterwards.
