Mobile Wikipedia race in Japan

EA Inc. just released a beta version of mobile Wikipedia called WikiMo. The website is free to use and accessible at http://wikimo.jp/ for cell phone users from all Japan's mobile operators. The service includes only documents from the Japanese-language version of Wikipedia, which are searchable from the top page.

In separate news, NTT Resonant, an operator of Japanese Web portal goo, launched a mobile version of Wikipedia that can be viewed and updated from a mobile handset. Similar to WikiMo, the service indexes the Japanese-language pages of Wikipedia. As an additional perk, the top page shows the current five most searched for terms. The service is dubbed as goo Wikipedia and accessible at http://wpedia.mobile.goo.ne.jp/.
