Here's How the Evaluation Works

PDA with Thai-English DictionaryFrom this page, you're going to download one file to your desktop (PC/Macintosh) computer: our Thai-English English-Thai Dictionary for Palm OS® PDAs. The download is completely free. Then, we'll show you how to install that file on your PDA using the standard Palm Desktop software that comes with all Palm OS® PDAs.

Once the dictionary is installed on your PDA, and you've had a chance to read and accept our End-User License Agreement (EULA), you will be able to see the buttons, menus, crisp fonts, and general operation of our dictionary. While in evaluation mode, the dictionary displays 150 words (50 per section).

When you're ready to unlock the full 21,000 words, return to this website and purchase the dictionary. Purchasing gives you the right to unlock the full dictionary for one user (yourself) on one Palm OS® PDA. We'll give you a registration code which you enter directly into your PDA to unlock the full dictionary. You don't even have to download or transfer another file to your PDA!

We encourage you to beam the dictionary to all your friends both before and after you purchase it. You can find instructions here. When you beam the (registered or unregistered) dictionary onto another PDA, the new copy on the other PDA will start in evaluation mode so that your friend may consider a purchase as well.
