However this product is also not for me. I am studying Japanese and will travel to Hawaii/Tokyo (don't be jealous, I don't have any next-gen hardware, new PC or HDTV to be able to make this happen... frag a n00b in Gears of War for me pls *sheds a single tear*) and would like to see a product with a larger focus on English Japanese than support more languages with less data.

I do however have a PSP and DS Lite (savings be damned, I am still a gamer and have found myself on subways/buses a lot) and am still disappointed that Sony never ported over their "Talkman" software - http://www.talkmanpsp.com - to allow english input =/.

See you in the future,

lmao.
hope the first one turned out nice.

but besides the obvious limitations of the asian languages on this thing, i'm sure it's great for the other, less complicated roman alphabet using languages. not to meantion that even the sloppiest translation is useless without knowing how to pronounce it.]]>Jan 16th 2007 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/franklins-12-language-speaking-translator/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/franklins-12-language-speaking-translator/Jan 16th 2007 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/franklins-12-language-speaking-translator/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/franklins-12-language-speaking-translator/Jan 17th 2007 1:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/franklins-12-language-speaking-translator/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/franklins-12-language-speaking-translator/Jan 18th 2007 1:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/franklins-12-language-speaking-translator/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/franklins-12-language-speaking-translator/available on the company website:
