Hannuri Biz's 3.5-inch Nurian FX1 "electronic dictionary"

We're having a hard time seeing where the "dictionary" part of this device comes into play -- all we're seeing is 3.5-inches of touchscreen LCD and a nice little PMP wrapped around it. The Nurian FX1 from Hannuri Biz hits Korea this month, and includes a "Speed Search Bar" for looking up them words, and a video / audio media player, e-book reader and voice recording functions for the other %99 of use you'll get out of this thing.

A stylus? What's this 1996?

Nurian's main function is to be an electronic dictionary, as is mentioned in the caption ( usually cross-referencing english, korean, chinese, and japanese, etc.). if you go to their site, you can see their entire line.

In other words, the wi-fi, e-books, mp3, video, (PMP, basically) is all extra. The stylus? it's there so that you can look up chinese/japanese han-zi characters by writing them on the screen instead of having to look it up the old fashioned way - try to get the dictionary to recognize that when writing on the screen with your fingertips.


looks like the stylus is not so 1996 after all...

These cats in Asia must get some sort of Government Tax credit or something for developing electronic dictionaries. Why else would they register PMPs as dictionaries when the word looking function is only 99% like what Paul Miller says.

Dictionaries like this are popular in Asia inorder to help people learn English
