Lingvo looks nice, but once again it's all about translating English into the language of your choice. What I'm eagerly awaiting is a solid French-French and (to a lesser extent) German-German dictionary, to help me read in languages where I actually need a dictionary.

At a pinch, French-English or French-Dutch would do as well.

I take it nobody has still found any that are usable on the PB? I've found some open source French dictionaries, but they're not terrific, and/or I haven't been able to convert them. The Littré for instance is very extensive, and available in all kinds of formats... except in a format that the PB converter seems to want to accept.
