1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money on this product!, August 20, 2002
By A Customer
I bought this product because it has Palm name on the product. What a mistake. It takes 12-16 seconds to just open up the application! Out of curiousity, I tried other dictionary software on a memory card and most of them don't take more than 5 seconds to open up. Also, searching for word in this product is a major problem. You need to know the exact spelling of the word. And, it takes another five seconds for the software to find each word. Maybe my Palm M505 is too slow for this software, but I doubt that's the reason. The only good thing about this product is that the content is from Merriam-Webster, if you can stand the wait time!

If you are ever thinking about buying this product, I urge you to reconsider. There are other products that you can get, and Palm should be ashamed to put out a product with such poor performance. Since there is no way to try the product out before buying and it's hard to return the product once you have opened the package, I feel that most customers will be fooled by the sweet little Palm logo. But, please do reconsider.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for your personal library. It can be better., January 12, 2002
By Guy D. Foe (Palo Alto, CA USA) - See all my reviews
I have been using Franklin-Bookman Power Dictionaries with Thesaurus and several Bookman Cards for foreign languages for years, and I was very excited to buy this card.
The product is good, but I have to admit somehow a little be my disappointment.

1) There is no way to jump directly from the Dictionary Entry to the Thesaurus entry and vice versa.
2) The Dictionary&Thesaurus load slowly, but you get use to it.
3) In case of verbs, the third person singular in present is not available, which is very important for someone who has to struggle with verbs ending.
4) Also is missing, the plural form.
5) It will be nice if as soon as you begin to enter a word in a text input field, you receive a list of suggested words. From these you can then select the desired word.
6) When searching for a word, the spell correction can take over a minute.
7) Once you have the definition of a word, but do not understand the meaning of an other word within that definition, you cannot select that word to look at the definition.
8) The Palm PalmPak Dictionary/Thesaurus Card is "read only", so there is no way to add or customize your entry.
9) It will nice to know how many words, definitions and thesaurus entries are accessible.

Did I scare you? I hope not.

Would I buy the card anyway? Of course, I bought it already.

If you don't care about what I said, the Palm PalmPak Dictionary/Thesaurus is otherwise excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great reference product, January 28, 2003
By A Customer
I keep this plugged into my Palm m515 at all times -- it's a great reference tool, and it saves a lot of memory having this on a card rather than having such a big file stored on your handheld.

2.0 out of 5 stars Get the newer version!
Palm is now selling the 11th edition of Merriam Webster dictionary, and with rebate, the cost is less than this one. It might even be in color.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very Slow
The content is good, but the programming is sloppy.
It is unacceptably slow and there is no link from the Dictonary Side to the Thesaurus side.
