BTW, regarding my comment on Plecodict.
You can input both by pinyin or handwriting. I just mentioned the latter since pinyin for me is slower to enter on PDA, and I don't text on my phone so am not good at it. Handwriting recognizes both traditional and simplified script. Output is in both also.
They have Chinese to English and English to Chinese dictionaries all of which exist in published book form. Their ABC Chinese to English by DeFrancis is excellent in my opinion. Includes slang and variant pronunciations and colloquialisms. The have text to speech pronunciation and flashcards capability also.
Sorry about my enthusiasm for the product, I don't work for them. Years of slugging through dictionaries almost killed my desire to learn Chinese, and wish I had found their product sooner.
