さきほど、ipodtouchでApp Storeをみていたら、なんとあのNew Oxford American Dictionaryが230円なのである。書籍版の定価は5000円以上で、米国amazon.comでも絶賛である。以前、American Heritage Dictionary（iPhone, ipod touch版）を購入するときに検討したのであるが、そのときは価格が高く断念したのである。たしか3000円台だったはずだ。
ところが今や230円だ。これは急がなくてはならない！ 期限は書かれていないから今すぐにダウンロード購入しよう。(しばらくたったら、値上がりしていました。ある情報によると１２００円だそうです）。
