XiaoCiDian is on the AppStore!

Category: Chinese, Mac, iPhone

After many months, 小词典 has been released to the AppStore! 小词典 is an off line Simplified Mandarin to English dictionary for your iPhone or iPod Touch. You can search by English, Pinyin, or by drawing Simplified Characters (after you turn on Chinese input see the XiaoCiDian website for more details)

Weather people buy it or not, it’s just cool to finally see the application on the store. If you are studying Mandarin, and are looking for a nice portable dictionary for your iPhone / iPod touch, you can checkout XiaoCiDian on the AppStore. The sales will help development of future features for both the iPhone app and the desktop version.

Don’t be left out, buy it today! – that was as much marketing as I can muster.
