Thumbs up iLiad now supports Instant Dictionary look-up in Mobipocket

With the new iLiad firmware 2.10.2 release, the device now supports instant dictionary look up in Mobipocket.
This is one of the important features that I have been expecting for, and I immediately downloaded a couple of demo dictionaries from the Mobipocet.com and tested it on my iLiad. It works fine, though I must have more clicks on the screen to see the defination than with my Gemstar eBook REB1200. The good thing is you can chose the dictionary you like and have more than one dictionary loaded in the device.
I purchase Concise Oxford English Dictionary today, and it works very good on the iLiad and the defination is just as good as the paper dictionary.
The dictionary instant look up is also supported in eNew in Mobipocket format by the iLiad device, though the desktop version does not.

I would like to mention as well the battery performance is also greatly improved with the 2.10.2 release, and I will have more details on this subject later on.
