The sound module allows MSDict users to listen to and learn genuine English pronunciation directly from their mobile phones. It is already available for Symbian S60 smartphones and will soon be released for other platforms as well.
Existing MSDict owners can purchase the short Concise Oxford English Audio Module which contains 17,000 words for 14.99 EUR, while the full version with 50,000 words costs only 5 EUR more. In addition, for new MSDict users, Mobile Systems is offering Audio modules bundled with the MSDict Oxford dictionaries.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
