Wikipedia for Android has been live since Jan. 13. However, buzz about the application has been buried by the online encyclopedia's zealous opposition to the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).
Wikipedia opposed the antipiracy law, which many Internet companies believe would cripple the Web and hurt users, by blacking out its Website worldwide for 24 hours Jan. 18. Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), Facebook, Reddit, Wordpress, Twitter and others also opposed SOPA.
