Having dictionary and spell checker together is a good idea. But I would like to have it independent from network. In another word, it would be nice to have a local copy of data. I am one of the people who do not have constant network. It would also be nice to use existing dictionary/spell database. Otherwise, there is no way for me to write a English-Chinese dictionary just for that. And for spell checking the speed is something important than dictionary. A dictionary with spell-checking is a very good idea, but a spell checker with dictionary is not that useful.
