Can anyone recommend a really great electronic dictionary?

Features I Need:
1. Talking (for pronouncation)
2. A LOT of words

Features That Would Be Useful to Have:
1. Thesaurus
2. History (last few words I looked up)
3. Spelling Check
4. Flash Cards (Putting certain words to the list and using them as flashcards)

Features I Couldn't Care Less About: (It's okay if they're there, but I'd never use it)
1. Games
2. Grammer Check
etc.

------------
OR just post up the electronic dictionary you have, and you can write good/bad stuff about it!

i use wordweb pro both at home and on my school laptop. overall, i'm extremely happy with the software and would recommend it to pratically EVERYONE.

pros:
- pronounces the words you search for
- runs quietly in windows so when you press CTRL+right click on a word, pops up straight away and defines.
- defines words found in pictures or text that cannot be copied.
- thesaurus
- remembers your search history
- anagrams
- shows words that are closely releated, so if i search for sun "it will come up with sunbeam, sunlight, etc..:

cons:
- it sometimes doesnt recognize some words that are in pictures.

there is a free 'lite' version of the program, but there is also a full featured version of the program if you want some extra features.

I always use dictionary.com lolz.

It even includes cuss words =P.

Edit: Oh whoops. Do you mean the little machines?

I have a bunch of them but I don't use them...=/ Asian brands.
Why do I always break the sig rules with Changmin pictures?

Maybe it's because he's too...


HOT.
