Van Dale Dutch dictionaries for the iPhone

Paragon keeps adding new dictionaries to the AppStore. This time their “partner in crime” is Van Dale, the prominent publisher of quality dictionaries in the Netherlands and Belgium. As a result, three dictionaries are now available in the AppStore – Van Dale Dutch-English & English-Dutch Dictionary, Van Dale Dutch-French & French-Dutch Dictionary, and Van Dale Dutch explanatory dictionary.

On the other hand, French-Dutch dictionary contains 23,114 entries, Dutch-French 28,150 entries, and the audio module comes with 20,000 French word pronunciations. Finally, Van Dale Dutch explanatory dictionary, which boasts 30,000 entries.

About The Author

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.
