Guys, like the iPhone, is there such a thing as a system wide dictionary? You know, tap and hold on a word and it'll bring up the definition? Thanks.

Not built in - you may be able to find a 3rd party application to do that, but I can't recommend one offhand.

think theres an add-on for Firefox browser that does it mate but i havent tried it. either that or just bookmak Wikipedia and copy/paste the word into that although that wouldnt be so slick

surely there must be an app like that where if you long-press and hilight any word itl give you the option to either copy to clipboard or search definition.. sounds possible anyway.. kindle can do it..
let us know if anyone finds an app like this plz

I use Swiftkey, and if you long press a word it offers you 2 selections: Find, which searches the article for the specified word or Web Search which brings up a web search of the word to include definition listings. Not the same as you described but close.
