Hi everyone,

in the future)
Yes, Wikipedia mobile app uses Leaflet and PhoneGap. PhoneGap
addresses fragmented mobile OSes for mobile devices.
Google is funny. It is blocking Openlayers apps that uses Google Maps
as data source. It pops up a modal dialog - "Map Data". I observed it
in my mobile prototype apps lately.

Maning, I guess you are using Android app, right?
The beauty of Wikipedia mobile app using PhoneGap/Cordova is, it has the same
look and feel in all mobile platforms.

I am just looking at the guts of Wikipedia mobile app and see what
sort of services it uses.
I found out it is also using Geonames (see code below). It also uses
JSON to get the lat and long.
