Summary: A must have
Review: I've used this many times since buying and and agree with others who say this is an absolute must have with a compatible palm. I don't know how I got along with out it.

Summary: Nice software
Review: It works really well, but it would be much better if there was a way of jumping from Dictionary Entry to Thesaurus entry directly ... . This should be easy to fix in the next release. The other drawback is that the Dictionary loads slow. Once it is loaded the speed is acceptable ,but loading it into the memory takes a few sec.

Summary: A bit clunky, but unbeatable content!
Review: It's slow to use, but is miles ahead of any alternative I've found. If it's thorough content you're after, it's hard to beat ~500,000 headwords (if I remember correctly) with complete definitions, pronunciations & etymologies. I got it on a lark & have been amazed at how handy it is to always have the complete M-W Collegiate dictionary in my pocket -- I use it constantly.Other than a 15 second start-up time, and an interface designed more for a novel than a dictionary/thesaurus (though still full-featured), the only other complaint I have is an undocumented (as fas as I've found) requirement that there be somewhere around 600K of free memory in the device. Otherwise it dumps you unceremoniously back into whatever app you used last. I'm planning to get a Sony Clie, and the only thing holding me back is the lack of dictionaries as thorough as this one that don't require SD/MMC slots.

Summary: Get the newer version!
Review: Palm is now selling the 11th edition of Merriam Webster dictionary, and with rebate, the cost is less than this one. It might even be in color.

Summary: Very Slow
Review: The content is good, but the programming is sloppy.
It is unacceptably slow and there is no link from the Dictonary Side to the Thesaurus side.

Summary: Somewhat thorough, not fancy.
Review: There are a lot of words listed and it's a handy assortment. The definitions are short and to the point, with pronunciation and a few bits about the roots of the words. Most importantly it has dirty words. Dictionaries that lack dirty words are a pet peeve, pointing to a prudishness that likely affects the overall quality of the dictionary's editing: if they can't trust us to restrain ourselves from drooling and writhing over the excitement of reading poo-poo words, can we trust the editing in other matters? There are some helpful Appendices/Tables for general knowledge (Zodiac signs, metric system, Morse code, and about two dozen others) that can be handy for bar bets or if stranded on an island with a meter stick and an astrologer. The Thesaurus is similarly sleek in content. There aren't any cross-links between words that I could find, but that's a nicety, not a necessity. Overall I'm pleased with the purchase. Alas, there's no color, and no illustrations, so if you need to insult someone with: "In the dictionary next to 'stupid' there's a picture of you!" carry around a regular book to point at.

Summary: This is the WHOLE Webster's Dictionary
Review: This card has the whole Webster's 10th collegiate dictionary in it! That is really cool. I would much rather carry this than the big printed version. I have really liked having this with me when writing papers and the like.

Summary: Very functional and informative
Review: this is the main reason why I went with a Palm handheld rather than with the Sony models, which have palpably better picture. The only idiosyncrasy preventing me from awarding this little pack a five star rating is that it's rather slow, but this is expected. Overall this is a fine product and it sure beats carrying an incomplete little pocket dictionary or a prodigious, bulky, complete edition of Merriam-Webster's tome. Oh, and there's also a thesaurus too, but I never use it, so it would have been better for users like myself if there were a separate card option that contained the dictionary only.

Summary: waste of money
Review: This product costs you around [money] and I don't think it is worth it. It is also too slow. The content is good, but don't buy it. Check out the dictionary softwares on palm site, which would cost you almost [money].
