Words of the Day on Your iPhone: build your vocabulary

Here's a cute little low-priced app for your iPhone: the WordBook English Dictionary & Thesaurus. It comes with a Words of the Day feature -- and a crossword puzzle helper too.

The developer TranCreative Software reports:

"150,000 entries with more than 220,000 definitions,
330,000 word links, 70,000 examples.
The entire content is equivalent to a 1,800-page book.
120,000 pronunciation guides in International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).
Word origins (etymologies) for 23,000 root words.
Built-in thesaurus and word links connecting hundred thousands of words together.
Words of the Day: you get to learn new words daily and can also shake the device for more fun with random words [NEW]."

It's a wonderful little app for word lovers, especially since you can link it to your favorite web dictionaries for words it doesn't include.
