Articles – aplicatia saptamanii de la Apple

Saptamana aceasta Apple a ales aplicatia Articles drept aplicatia saptamanii in AppStore. Articles permite utilizatorilor de iDevices sa caute articole pe celebrul site Wikipedia direct de pe propriul iDevice fara a deschide Safari. Articles ne ofera acces facil si rapid la una dintre cele mai mari baze de date informationale din lume si totul fara a fi nevoiti decat sa introducem un termen in casuta de cautare din aplicatie.
