Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Palm Merriam-Webster?s Collegiate Dictionary and Franklin Thesaurus (P10935U)
Customer Review: Not bad, but inconvenient
Summary: 3 Stars
-- This dictionary & thesaurus is actually pretty good, and has features that others seem to lack. Very handy is the fact that once you look up a word, you can tap any word in that definiton, and look up THAT word in the dictionary or thesaurus as well. That's wonderful stuff! Plus there's other options on that pop-up menu that I haven't fully explored.
-- HOWEVER! For quick look-ups, it's a bit of a hassle. You have to go through multiple screens. And as has been said in other reviews, the graffitti interface is pretty touchy.
-- MY MAIN GRIPE however, has nothing to do with that. I generally keep a large memory card in my Palm. So every time I have to look something up, I have to pull that card, and put in this one. Not only is that a real hassle, it also invites mishaps such as dropping cards (into soup, for instance), and causes excessive wear and tear on the card mechanism if you use it a lot, which I do.
-- I have therefore gone to the Oxford dictionary, which while lacking in some features and having a smaller word list, is much quicker and easier to use for fast look-ups, and resides comfortably on the memory card so I don't have to swap. I keep this one on had for deeper researches, but it's fairly rare that I use it anymore.
