Handmark announced the New Oxford American Dictionary application for iPhone and iPod touch is available on the Apple App Store. The dictionary contains more than 250,000 entries and definitions with content stored locally so it can be used without a wireless connection. Users can easily search for entries by name, bookmark dictionary entries for future reference, and even play audio of dictionary entries for correct pronunciation.

“It is exciting to see our products and services continue to evolve and utilize the revolutionary technology in a device like the iPhone,” said Evan Schnittman, vice president of Business Development, Oxford. “Handmark has been an integral part of our success in expanding our business to a mobile audience and we take pride in having them as a trusted partner.”
