Why, when one can have its cake, and eat it, too?

Apple has shown us how it is done. The core of the functionality on iPhone/iTouches is Apple business, 3rd party applications are there for those who want more and are ready to pay for it.

Sadly, some of the stuff mentioned on this thread falls, very much so, into the "core business" category. Dictionary support is NATIVE function for any (dedicated or not) ebook reading device.
