Over at the Project for Free Electronic Dictionaries, we've finally got the first version of Wunderkammer, our software for displaying multimedia electronic dictionaries on mobile phones, ready for release. We've also developed the application wkimport, which allows electronic dictionaries in a variety of formats to be imported relatively painlessly into Wunderkammer.
The packages for importing dictionaries, a demonstration Wunderkammer dictionary, all the source code and plenty of documentation are available at the Wunderkammer website: http://www.pfed.info/wksite There's also an online demo of a Wunderkammer dictionary that shows off some of what Wunderkammer can do without having to download it to a mobile phone. The emulator for the online demo does not always load properly, but it should work in most cases. If the online demo doesn't work, just try the real demo on a mobile phone.

This is way cool!
Is there any chance that it will have a predictive text function at some point?

I've been wondering about the predictive text function too. Any news?
