Velocipede Sounds Like a Bug

If you've got 7MB or so on your storage card that you're not doing anything with, give Lextionary a try. This is a dictionary for the Pocket PC, but it goes far beyond what a print dictionary can do. It gives you definitions. It gives you pronunciations. It gives you synonyms. It also gives you related words, all hyperlinked together. Look up "bicycle" and you'll get more specific words like "mountain bike" and "velocipede", but you'll also get related words like "handlebar" and "pedal".


This is a great program for writers looking for that mot just or anyone who loves words and the quirky connections they make with each other.
