I thought I saw a ref to Webster's, and my <em>guess</em> is that the existing files for the product will work out. Like you, I don't know about the search function. But I can easily enough imagine a virtual keyboard using a mix of cursor movements and "push down the center button" to identify the letters you want. It wouldn't be the most convenient interface for searches but would be much better than none. What's more, as I've written, a USB port for a keyboard would help---for searches and other functions.

Also, I see a lookup for specific words, as well as coming MobiPocket support. I wonder if I will be able to use my existing MobiPocket version of Webster's 3rd International to look up words in text, as I now do with the Palm TX? Have you heard anything that would relate to this, David? I can’t tell from the video demo whether there’s a real search function included or not.
