English dictionary on iPhone

For those who've ever needed to settle a bar argument over the capital of the British Virgin Islands (it's Road Town), or found themselves stumped by a cocktail party companion's use of the word "rhytidoplasty," this dictionary is for you.

It contains 1.6 million words' worth of definitions and sample sentences that are easy to scroll through. (Those with more cash to burn may gravitate toward the American Heritage Dictionary -- Fourth Edition application, with more than 4.2 million words, the entire text of the paper-based version of the dictionary, enlargeable graphics and pronunciations for $29.99.)

No-cost alternative: Some question Wikipedia's accuracy, but you can't deny its usefulness for a quick info fix. The free Wikipanion app allows easy navigation of the site. (A $4.99 upgrade, Wikipanion Plus, includes bookmarks and history browsing.)
