The end result is a clean phone/PDA screen friendly site that lets you query Wikipedia’s vast knowledge store while on the move.
I just hope the site doesn’t get Slashdotted!
If you know of other new phone and PDA friendly sites, let me know and I’ll add it to my list on:

limited data set?
Looks like Wapipedia doesn't include all of the data in wikipedia. Given that it's not editable, this sort of limits its usability.
re: limited data set?
Just got a response from Peter that I thought I'd share with others here: he says that to get wapipedia up and running he used an old data snapshot he had lying around. He plans to update it with a very recent version soon, so we'll have crunchy wapipedia goodness then.
Thanks Peter!
