WordWeb is light, with straight-forward answers. It is very useful for day-to-day quick reference. Dictionary.com is heavy-duty, with more detailed explanations on words and their origin. As a result, it is bigger in size, takes longer to startup and the interface is not as smooth, clean and flexible. For instance, after looking up a word, you can't click on any word in the explanation to lookup the new word. Anyway, it really depends on your needs and preferences. For me, I end up using WordWeb most of the time because of its speed, and I don't really need the extra details on the road. For that kind of details, I prefer to use printed dictionary.

Sounds like a hassle to me. Anne

You use the Google Search Function in Safari fives times with the word you want to put in the auto-correction dictionary and the iPhone picks it up. Sounds like a hassle to me.

Point for each, I guess *g* BTW I do actually like the dictionary.com website very much, though I haven't used the iPhone app. Will have to download that, thanks for the heads up :D LOL Well I’ve used dictionary.com and thesaurus.com but not wordweb, so there you go.
