Comments on YahooKimo Mini Pen: I'm really impressed by the innovation of this tool. With just a click, you can look up the words on IE, Word, Excell, PowerPoint, PDF,etc. How convenient!!
Comments on online Learners' Dictionaries: Compare Cambridge with Oxford, I find that the interface of CambridgeAdvanced Dictionary is more user-friendly. It fist shows the entries of a word and you can choose part of speech to gain the further information of it. On the other hand, Oxford Learner's Dictionary gives too much information(kind of chaos) when you look up the word you want. This would not be easy for a new English Learner. Merriam-Webster's Dictonary is quite easy to use but seems to contain less informaton than the above two dictionaries. It also has the pronunciation function whcih the other two don't.

Nice comment. Really? I didn't notice that the online Cambridge learners' dictionary does not allow the users to "hear" the words. The CD version has the feature.
