Hi,
I think this has already been proposed before, the reason I'm writing this is that I realized that half of the work to have wikipedia on a psp has already been done:
there are several version of Wikipedia already available in the Encyclopodia Ebook format (a spec designed to port wikipedia on small, embedded systems). A reader that support the format is all that's missing to have wikipedia on every psp.
If you are interested the specification for the format are here:
http://encyclopodia.sourceforge.net/ebookformat.html
some working code (for ipod) is here:
http://encyclopodia.sourceforge.net/en/index.html
and some wikipedia editions are here:
http://encyclopodia.sourceforge.net/en/library.html
I really hope you like this idea, it would basically turn your psp in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy).
If any hb developer is ooking for a good idea to work on... well this is my humble proposal :)
