It sounds like ShinKanji will be the perfect replacement for PADict once the custom word list feature has been implemented, and I will be keeping tabs on your progress to see when I can switch over to it. I wish you the best of luck with the iPad port and hope it goes quickly and smoothly. ^_^ Keep up the great work! John Benoit,

I'll try to answer to some of your questions. 1) you can look up both words and kanji using kana. It will work both to look up word by reading which are normally written with kanji or to look up kana only words. There is no kana entry screen, to do this you use the iphone/ipod built in japanese keyboard. 2) there are custom kanji lists in the form of bookmark lists, there is no custom word list yet although it is planned (will come after the iPad port though). 3) the EPWING support is actually in the back burner as it is a huge work which may not pay off. However the included dictionary is already Jim Breen's EDICT, so the two things are independant. The plan for the EPWING support is effectively to let the user add their own dictionary but now it is not possible, the app comes with EDICT and KANJIDICT Hello John,
