Dictionary.com

Here’s an app virtually every iPhone/iPod Touch user should install on its beloved device. It’s Dictionary.com’s recently launched application, which features more than 275,000 definitions and 80,000 synonyms (from Roget’s New Millennium Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases – Thesaurus.com), as well as the website’s popular “Word of the Day” feature. Moreover, there are audio pronunciations, similarly spelled words, alphabetical indexing, example sentences, non-standard uses, word origin and history, and editable recent word look-up.

Finally, and this is where it gets really interesting — Dictionary.com works even while offline, allowing you to find definitions and synonyms without an Internet connection! As I said, it’s a must have – AppStore link is here.

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.
