from the iOS 4 page: "the built-in dictionaries support over 50 languages and dialects"
Hmpf, I just splurged on German-English, French, and Korean dictionaries a few days ago... :-( Still, if this means I can tap a word in any app, say Le Monde, and an explanation/definition pops up, I'll be superhappy. At the moment, one needs to switch back and forth between dictionary and app.
The current iOS 4.2 does not include any standalone Dictionary apps, AFAIK. I believe "dictionary" here refers to the system’s built-in spelling autocorrect and suggestion engine, which lacks definitions.
