That's exactly what happened with the (re)introduction of the ebookwise 1150. It had all the firmware code to handle dictionary lookups, but no licenced dictionary to use it on.
Then, after a while, they finally licenced the
Random House Webster's Concise Dictionary and suddenly the EBW1150 had dictionary support (again)!
Nice coy tactic; buys you some time, at the launch, and then you suddenly satisfy the user base!
