I have been looking for a good French-English dictionary for both my SmartPhone and my Pocket PC. This one looks good however the demo is too limited. Instead of giving you a few days to use it, it gives you a percentage of the words so essentially you can only look up the words that begin with "A". This is very frustrating if you are evaluating a dictionary and you want to see if the some of the words you need will be there. So in reality you have to buy it to evaluate it. :roll:
