Sharp's new 4.3-inch DMB / PMP educatin' machine

Good old Sharp. They just can't be happy with themselves if they're not squeezing an electronic dictionary or other such educational tool into otherwise perfectly good portable media devices. Their latest efforts center around the new SP700, which sports a 4.3-inch touchscreen, T-DMB receiver and SD card slot, and supports various forms of audio and video playback. There are also options for a 30GB HDD and GPS navigation, but with all of this education breathing down our necks, we wouldn't want to get close enough to find out how well it all holds together. Price? Availability? You must be kidding!

Now, this is a good thing. It'll be handy for travelers to Korea (I certainly want to know what I'm ordering when I'm in a restaurant) especially because it means less stuff to carry while traveling (GPS+MP3+Video+Dictionary). Now, if they try selling this in America, who knows?
