Hi.

I am looking for a good online dictionary site optimized for mobile phones - preferably for the iPhone. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dai

Thanks guys for the quick replies.

I use http://www.merriam-webster.com. Not optimized at all, but works just fine.

What optimization would you want?
That's the site I currently use, because like you say it is a fairly lightweight site. The optimization I want is mainly the font size and layout. The Merriam-Webster site still requires horizontal scrolling, which I wish I did not have to do.

there are some dictionary apps in the app store. why not one of those?

http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=293283136&mt=8 this one is free
I did look for a free dictionary app, but I could not find it before. Let me try your recommendation.
