Sharp intros RD-CX310 electronic dictionary / PMP

It seems like Sharp likes to make its electronic dictionary upgrades a yearly occurrence, with the company now trotting out its new RD-CX310 model, a nearly right on time follow-up to its not-very-dissimilar RD-CX300 device. Among the upgrades this time around are a roomier 30GB hard drive, along with DivX support in addition to the usual audio / video formats, 82 dictionaries, 20 audiobooks, an FM tuner, and a voice recorder, plus the same 4.3-inch display as before. No word on a price just yet, but we wouldn't expect it to be too far off the $500 the previous model demanded.

Why do they all look like it's 1968 though, what's up with that?

[mattclarkie @ Apr 29th 2008 11:04AM]

I wish I was that dictionary.

[Homeboy @ Apr 29th 2008 11:12AM]

I'd rather have the woman since she can't interpret a languagues the dictionary can't, like..............body language and the smell of testosterone.

[mattclarkie @ Apr 29th 2008 11:20AM]

I think we'd all rather have the women, but not for her language skills. Well maybe her Oral abilities.


I think I went too far with that one.

lol totally agree

[webon @ Apr 29th 2008 11:35AM]

ok,ok I get it jeez you don't HAVE to repeat everything to me

[Tim @ Apr 29th 2008 11:25AM]

honestly, i don't think an electronic dictionary should double as a pmp - I suppose its a good idea for a student, but I tend to think the most common usage would be in a foreign land where you don't understand the language, which brings about two problems: battery life that suffers from a hdd and large color screen, and risk of theft. Both of these issues could ruin a trip, considering you felt the need for it in the first place.

[Karl Viklund @ Apr 29th 2008 11:34AM]

Can't they just remove that girl and just show the fu** device!1!!

[webon @ Apr 29th 2008 11:35AM]

but WHY?!!

[Steffen Jobbs @ Apr 29th 2008 12:31PM]

As soon as you remove your fu***** ugly avatar. Unless that's your personal photo then it's alright to keep. Talk about fug-leeeeeee.

J-Hotties can sell anything. I'll take two those PMPs as long as she comes with them.

[WarMouse @ Apr 29th 2008 11:38AM]

She has Ringo hair.

[Jim @ Apr 29th 2008 12:23PM]

(Mmm... Skyscraper) I love you

[skaht @ Apr 29th 2008 12:42PM]

Actually, most of these would be used in a classroom setting. Nothing worse than trying to teach 15 year olds while they are watching crappy Korean porn on their "dictionaries".

[Schfelzerberg @ Apr 30th 2008 2:14AM]

Have to agree with this one. They just HAD to place PMP features on this 'dictionary'. The teacher might not notice it but his students are probably already jacking off to porn on their 'dictionaries' during his oh-so-boring lecture.

[Wwhat @ Apr 29th 2008 3:18PM]

$500? At least 2.5 times too much.
