That's good news. Perhaps the unit will have dictionary support when it is released. They are possibly just waiting for some dictionaries to be done in this format. I suspect there are a few such features that may end up in the product by the time it is delivered next month.
I woudn't be so quick to be happy If you check the dates on news posts on that site, the latest is from 2006. Looks like Sony left the electronic dictionary market and doesn't make them anymore. So I doubt they're going to use the BBeB dictionary format (which was tuned for Japanese anyway).
That said, I do hope they're at least thinking about some kind of dictionary support.
