This is 20 euros more than the current model, so assuming there are no other differences I guess I should go ahead and get the current version. Does this come with an English-English dictionary, or any other dictionaries? From what I've read it seems likely that two-way dictionaries will be coming before too long (?). Or is there an Italian>English dictionary already that can be uploaded? I'm just about sold on the Pocketbook 360...!

Italian-English is possible with free dictionaries. I don't have one in my PB because I don't need it, being Italian and having practically no ebook in Italian on the PB (they're just beginning to sell them properly now!); it also probably depends on the level of the dictionary you want to use. The free ones (with a few exceptions) are quite basic, and if you don't know, say, the proper infinitive form for a verb you have to scroll- just like Kacir said for Russian and Slavonic languages, Romance languages work the same way; so if you don't know the "forms" yet (paradigms, in old grammar) it's harder to use them for- say- verbs.
