Dictionary for iPod

IPREPpress and Merriam-Webster today released the Merriam-Webster's Pocket Dictionary for iPod, the first all-text brand-named dictionary for the iPod. The downloadable dictionary includes 40,000 words and their definitions, a pronunciation guide, abbreviation guide, and a handbook of style. Under the partnership, the companies will produce a series of quality portable references for the iPod over the next two months, including: Merriam-Webster's Pocket Thesaurus, Merriam-Webster's Rhyming Dictionary for song and hip-hop writers, Merriam-Webster's Pocket Atlas, and The Merriam-Webster Dictionary of Quotations. Merriam-Webster's Pocket Dictionary is available with simple scroll and click navigation, and users can search for words on the iPod through a hierarchical menu and hyperlinked structure. Additionally, the iPod can play tunes in the background while viewing dictionary entries on-screen. The dictionary is currently available for $10.
