What I would want to see is that when you highlight a word, and press options, there will be an option to look up the selected word in your installed dictionaries. Another possibility is that a double click on a word will bring up that word's definition in the dictionary.

Of course there will have to be an option to choose between installed dictionaries, or even - dare I suggest it - a way to compare defintions between dictionaries. Or open up both a thesaurus and a dictionary together.
