Hi,
It is possible to have your TW resident on a virtual disk on your
iPhone or IpodTouch.

No need to jailbreak your equipment.

No need to upload your wiki (or wikiS since you can preload different
wikis) each time you want to browse it.

It is fully operationnal in browse mode in PlaneMode (with no WiFi,
Edge or 3G signal).

So far, no remanent local update, but, when you have again WiFi or 3G
connection, you can upload the whole wiki to its mothership (your
server), and ... soon, only the modified tiddler.

More details :

Enjoy!

Correction:
It is not a "virtual disk" as I wrongly called it, but a partition of
the actual storage space on you iPhone. The equivalent of a USB key
(without the USB connection).

Hi JCG,

When I tried saving iTW locally (on my iPod Touch) using FileMagnet I
got the "can't save changes" error message. Is "AirSharing"
different? That's the software mentioned at http://id2go.fr/itw/. If
I get that, will I simply be able to save iTW to my iPod? I may not
be understanding. Is your version of iTW different from bidix's?

Thanks

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

I don't know yet FileMagnet.
AirSharing transforms a portion of the memory of the iPhone into an
"USB Key" (sort of, since it is thru WiFi and not thru a real USB
connection).
From there, you can upload any file and particulary iTW (I just have
added photos on my site http://id2go.fr/itw/ , since I cannot attach
them on Google group)
When uploaded, iTW is saved and stays resident until you decide to
erase it.
When you travel, you can browse your Wikis and all the loaded files
without needing any network connection.
As stated in my chart, when you regain connection but are away from
your PC ou Mac, you can modify the wiki on the phone, but you need to
upload your modifications back to your server, since they don't remain
(yet?) on the iphone. So one would have to reload the wiki thru
AirSharing at the end of the trip...
Stil not my dream solution, but it is a step towards a better nomadism
or mobility.
Lastly, yes, I am using BidiX's iTW as it is (with hideWhenPlugin for
this demo).
Cheers,
JCG
