Hey all.

We all got those 16MB SD cards that comes with new cameras.
Now, what to use a 16MB SD card for? Well, I found out I wanted to use mine for a PDA version of the CIA World Factbook.

The CIA World Factbook is freeware, so I decided to download the complete .zip offered on their site, and strip it down so it would fit on a 16MB SD card.

* I edited the HTML code some, for better viewing on PDAs
* I removed flags (Actually i resized them to 2x1 pixels)
* All country info, and maps are untouched.
* Its in plain html. It should work on all PDAs with a browser, no matter what type.

Size: 15.9MB

Download: HERE (5MB ZIP)

You can also view it on my site before downloading it, to see how it works.

Hope this is usefull for some :) Really, it just took me 50 mins to make.

Thanks Dude! I installed it and love it. I set it as a favorite and to view it I just open Internet Explorer. This is a very cool program to have. Thanks again for your efforts.

Can someone please list the steps necessary to get this to work on an sd card. I downloaded the zip file, and unzipped it I think. Now how do I get it to go to the sd card? I am a novice at all this. Thank you for any help. Painterly :)

All you need to do is open up index.html in Internet Explorer and you should be good to go.

mcduck, excellent job.

I frequent this site more than a few times each year. Now its on my CF storage card. Great work.

Painterly, you have to open internet explorer to view it, though you don't have to be online.

Cool. I'll give it a whirl. Thanks for sharing.
