Unfortunately, the Sporepedia option isn’t possible yet. iPod “Spore” points users to EA’s mobile website, which still features a “coming soon” tag. The idea is you’ll register with EA and gain the ability to download user-made creatures to your own iPod. Their unique, customized characteristics are deduced with a “DNA Code.”

I’d previously been told such a feature would not be possible with the iPhone version. Strange, considering the old iPod product line has no Internet connection. Once the website is functional, I’ll let you all know how the feature works.
