If it is anything like the full (printed) version of the OEd it would be worth twice the price.

A must for the quick word validation in Scrabble I have compared this to some other mobile platform built-in dictionaries and this takes the cake. Hyperlinking FTW as well…

It looks great in all the screenshots, and some pronunciations is a bonus…

but $15?? That seems a little steep to me.

I wish I could give it a try! I already had a version of this dictionary on my SE W910i and it was great! I would like to try that new voice recognition system!

$15 is too much indeed…

this is definitely expensive…would rather use a free dictionary if the price is not reduced to at least half

As an English major and Philosophy major specializing in the Philosophy of Language, I can tell you that the OED is the go-to for looking up words. The OED is authoritative, in that it cites the derivations of the word, as well as in some cases the first appearances of said words in recorded history.
If I had this for my G1, I’d be in heaven. $15.00? Almost worth it…

Also a boon to anyone trying to cheat at crosswords on the way home on the train… Network coverage doesn’t extend to tunnels and remote parts of the countryside (apparently trains are too episodic and don’t warrant the investment in network infrastructure). We need more apps that can cope with being ‘occasionally disconnected’.
