Windows Phone Thoughts: Wanted: World Almanac

Whenever I travel to another country, I'm always eager to learn more about it before visiting. The problem is that I have yet to find a good resource for doing so on my Pocket PC. What am I looking for? Something like this, although perhaps with more narrative similar to this. I use WorldMate quite a bit, and it's a fantastic program, but there's no database with any cultural or factual information about the countries in their database. To me, this is a major oversight - if I'm travelling to these other places, I want to know more than just the time!

Have you found a good solution to this issue? I know that I could manually go to these Web sites and create eBooks or save the HTML files, but I'm seeking a slick, polished program that I can have with me all the time. I love to learn - feed me!
