Apple Thoughts - News & Reviews on all things Apple

"White & Yellow Pages is a new app available for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. With the simple interface you can access contact information of people and businesses found in the white and yellow pages."

The iPhone/iPod Touch version is available here, and the iPad version is available here, both free. I don't usually use too many of these resource applications, I've found that most of my needs are met using the maps app from Google on the iPhone, at least for businesses. I can see a need for the white pages for people searching.

"Quickpedia is a simple, free app for browsing Wikipedia. What makes Quickpedia worth the download over simply navigating to Wikipedia from Safari is the easy-to-read interface and the search history. The app remembers all of your searches, lists them on the home screen, and-this is key-saves every article you've read to your iPhone or iPod touch for future reference offline. (The app does not save images, however.)"

Pretty good app for what it does, and it also has a "nearby" tab that uses your location to give you information on nearby landmarks and cities. It isn't accurate enough to give you directions I use other things for that anyway. And it is free so it is pain free if you don't like it. Well other than losing some of your time.
