I have been using TiddlyWiki quite a bit and could not be
happier. Or could I ? I (and probably others) think TiddlyWiki
will be awesome on the iPod Touch/iPhone. Well, accordingly
to Apple, third party apps will be able to save info in these
devices :

How do I write information locally?

You can write to your application's local storage area. You find the
path by calling the Foundation function
NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains.

This sounds heaven !

Hi Sergio,

have you heard of iTW of BidiX?

It's a TW optimized for use on a iPhone and alternatively saves single
tiddlers separately on a server.

See this thread about it:

Regards,

Speaking of iTW, I wonder if the SDK will allow for someone to create
a better-looking UI, similar to the ivelib app.

And what I mean by "better-looking" is if there are more
touch-responsive animations.

Hi Wolfgang,

Yes, in the process of looking for a portable TW, I stumbled upon
iTW and it is indeed quite interesting but I would rather
rely on something that operates in offline mode.

I have plans to get an iPod Touch in June (iPhone is out
of question because I can't justify to myself expenses of US$ 2000+
for a phone service) and the offline mode would be
perfect to manage my TW.

Thanks for the suggestion,

S.

Sergio,

I purchased an 8GB iPod Touch back in December, and I am hooked. As a
LONG-time PalmOS PDA user, I have to say simply that this is what Palm
PDA's should have become. The iPT is compact, sleek, solid, and very
powerful. I remember how captivated I was when the Palm V came out. To
me, the iPT is the "Palm V of the 21st century".</soapbox>

I have since "Jailbroken" my iPT allowing me to add third-party
applications, and some of them are quite amazing. For example, my
favorite is the Wiki2Touch application that lets me store and view a
complete snapshot of all Wikipedia articles locally and offline. The
program is actually a small Web server app that serves up pages from a
local data file leveraging all of Safari's features. The article data
file is HUGE at a whopping 3.2GB in size, but the end result is that I
have access to every Wikipedia article at my fingertips anywhere
offline!

Anyway, the only thing that the iPT is really lacking is a decent way
to input, store, and manage text data. The Notes application is cute
and basic, but really needs to be beefed up to be productive. Having
something like a streamlined TiddlyWiki available would simply be
amazing!

I really can't wait to see how this progrsses.
