Vocabulary from ChinesePod

[Alexis]

Some progress has been made here.

Chinesepod is currently looking at officially providing flashcards for lessons in Pleco 2 compatible format.

And a more formal announcement here:

Yep, and the new 2.0.2 beta includes the ability to import from flashcard files that contain definitions but still map those cards to dictionary entries when possible, which should be very handy with (and was added in part for the sake of) those ChinesePod lists.

Now official:

And my own guest post on this:

(probably stuff most of you already know, but the 2.0.2 vocabulary mapping improvement is a nice little new thing)

Now that they've finally done that the killer feature would be the ability for Pleco to log in with your Chinesepod account and download some Vocab! I imagine that they may need to do some more stuff on the API front to make that a reality, but it's awesome to see you and the Cpod crew working together.

That would be nice, though I think we'd first want to get a download manager program working for our own software - updates / keyfile installations / etc could be considerably improved if we added the ability to do them on your handheld through WiFi.
