Recently I’ve been talking about some of my favorite Mac OS X tips. Now this week I’ve started sharing some of my favorite tips for iOS. Today I’ll show you how to look up word definitions in iOS using the Define command.

I had a similar tip for Mac OS X Lion that you can read if you are using a Mac.
