The iPhone has a few Wikipedia applications available for information hunting people on the go. Most like Wikipanion, my self included, while others like Wikiamo. Now there’s a new kid in town and he’s free with some added features. Oh ya, he also runs on Android based systems such as T-Mobile’s G1.

WikiTap brings you both Wikipedia and Wikionary right to your hand. While the formatting isn’t anything to woo most users, what one will find on the bottom row in Wikipedia results may at least raise some eye brows. With a connection to its WikiTap community adding video to WikiTap as well as links to YouTube, you’ll be able to dive in deeper in topic right there in your handset. You don’t have to upload anything to participate either. You can do the TiVo and thumb-up or down video to help better refine what shows up in the video row.

For those needing to know how to pronounce a word, look it up in Wikionary and tap the speaker and out comes the way to say it. Speaking of spelling, WikiTap will also auto-corrrects misspelt words in the look up window for you. For example, if you type “shwazzenegg”, you’ll get Arnold Schwarzenegger. Enter “sycholog” and out comes “psychology”. Great for people like me that weren’t taught phonics in school. (What was I taught anyway? Such a blur.)

Veveo hopes to add travel and music to the list of features in the future. Get WikiTap from the AppStore or App Market for free today.
