image thumb29 Dictionary.com App comes to BlackBerry devices

It has taken quite some time, the Dictionary.com application. It only recently released the iPhone app and today it rolled out its application for the Blackberry devices. The application is a bit different from the one it released for the iPhone as it provides audio pronunciation along with the definition for over 500,000 words, spelling suggestions and the word of the day not just in English, but in Spanish at the same time. Apart from that it also displays the definition for the word or an associated word while you read an email or write it. I guess the features of the application differ for the BlackBerry due to the category of people it caters to. To be honest the bulk of professional folks out there who go about their business aren’t very comfortable with the iPhone and for them Blackberry is the obvious choice. With additional functions to the app, it fulfills all the needs of any user for no charges whatsoever.

It’s good that you acknowledge your sponsors and partners but when you step ahead and have them all over your place it just appears a bit too odd. Dictionary.com has done something similar, making sure its current sponsor Cheer is shown all over the page. Just to mention, Cheer is a washing detergent. Now I know how difficult it is to earn bucks in these times but going on a all out onslaught of an ad appears and sounds a going way too far. The other point here is that Dictionary.com doesn’t look awful as many have stated, it is actually much easier to find the text box.
