Anyone who has an iPhone or iPod Touch, I'm using a great Chinese-English English-Chinese dictionary called iCED, it has great search features unlike any other and features the ABC dictionaries: iCED for iPhone and iPod touch presents a unique way to use a Chinese dictionary. After you've found the entry you were searching for, iCED will continue to search for compound or component entries to complement your search. Component entry dissection allows you to quickly understand the meaning of components in longer words or phrases. For example, if you look up 中华人民共和国, iCED will also look up 中华 and 人民共和国. You can then select the latter to break it up into 人民 and 共和国. When you get to single characters, iCED will look up compound entries starting with that character.
Search for "iCED Chinese Dictionary" in the iTunes store, there is a free version of iCED but the included dictionary does not come close to what iCED with the professional ABC Chinese-English dictionary provides...

KTdict C-E is also a good, free English/Chinese dictionary for the iPhone:

For the iphone LRDict 中英德辞典 (Chinese-English, Chinese-German dictionary) is great. www.lrdict.com
You're absolutely right! ICED is the most unique way to use a Chinese Dictionary for your iPhone od iPod Touch. I've been using this app for my gadget for over a years and I can say that it was great dictionary. The search interface even allows me to select from multiple dictionaries, plus I can istantly look up the same word in other dictionaries at a single touch. The money you'll spend for this app will be worthy and its even cheaper than buying it in a bookstore.
I believe that PLECO is the best Chinese language tool out there, well worth the cost. initial download is free, but other dictionaries/add-ons cost. It's been around the longest - originally created for PALM - and constantly being upgraded. Handwriting, radical, pinyin, simplified, traditional, wild card searches, flashcards, audio, etc.
Thanks for sharing! I think HNHSoft Chinese dictionary is also a good choice: www.hnhsoft.com. I've used it for more than one year, really cool! It's talking and has Pinyin for every Chinese character. Check it out.
i think you have a great site here... today was my first time coming here.. i just happened to find it doing a google search.
