I've always typed "define: ", but this seems to be superior.

That's great! I've usually used answers.com or dictionary.com, but they're slow and cluttered compared to this. Also, answers.com often gives you a Wikipedia entry when you want a simple dictionary definition.

I'm liking the interface, they even include IPA transcriptions!

I bet this will get most online and many offline dictionaries out of business.

This still seems a bit cluttered to me and as usual it doesn't even look like the visual design was given any though below the page header.

Clean interface and ability to save favorite words, nice but after a few tests i'm not too confident in the quality of the translation (e.g. some related phrases with engita are just wrong). A good start,btw.
