Dictionary Bookmarklet
Peter Coles has published a simple Dictionary bookmarklet that would let you highlight a word on a page and get a definition for that word in a popup. It used to make use of the mobile version of Google which doesn't work anymore.
Just replace the references to http://www.google.com/m/ in the code with http://m.bing.com/search and the bookmarklet will work! Use this modified bookmarklet - Define if you don't want to meddle with the code. Drag & drop that button to your Bookmarks toolbar.
You can also adapt the bookmarklet script to work with any other online dictionary that uses a querystring in its URL via a HTTP GET request to fetch results for submitted keywords.

If you don’t highlight a word ahead of time, it let’s you type in any term you want. Even if the word doesn’t show up in the dictionary, Bing should hopefully return some relevant results.
