Hannuri Biz has a
knack for sprucing plain ole e-dictionaries up with enough multimedia capabilities to still make them relevant, and it's proving yet again that these things still have a place in our world with the vividly colored nurian X10. Aside from sporting an external LCD surrounded by playback controls, this thing also handles all the translating one could stand, and just in case you get tired of mingling with all those words, it can also play back XviD and MP3 files. Additionally, you'll find an image / text viewer, voice recording capability, USB connectivity and a rechargeable battery good for up to 14-hours. Mum's the word on pricing at the moment, but feel free to check out a couple more looks in the read link.

boring.
Dude, it's Christmas Day, 3 weeks away from CES, stop expecting big things!!
Useful and interesting.
I live in China, my korean friend has one of these to help him out with the chinese/korean translating he needs. This is around 2500rmb, which is roughly $350 for anyone looking to buy one.
Merry Christmas Engadget!!
Why is it that they only sell these things in Asia??
I travel across Europe all the time and although people usually understand me when I speak English, French or Spanish it is obvious I cannot speak all the languages fluently. More often than not there are words missing in my vocabulary so it would be nice to be able to refer to one of these handy eDictionaries instead of having to lug one of those old paper versions along...
But aside from some crappy Franklin offerings or other ridiculously expensive yet hardly functional devices there is nothing, or so it seems.
Why is this???? Can anybody explain it to me? (Or tell me where I can get one of these bad boys with European languages).
Okay, was I the only person alarmed by seeing the "X10"? I immediately had flash backs of pop-ups, and banner ads for those annoying little wireless security cameras. Well, I am relieved that it is something else that I will never buy. Merry Christmas if you are into it.
I believe there is going to be an issue with the use of "X10".
X10 products are a wide range of wireless devices. You can use your computer or a hand-held device to control lights, curtains, security cameras and even large devices with a 220v interface.
X10 products have been around for many years and have been offered by firms as large as Radio Shack and even IBM. (I know because I own many of them.)

I like it but for the 'nurian' on the display, less is more when putting on company logo's IMHO.
looks really cool and practical
