14 DAY TRIAL // Doosan and Prime translation LLC joined forces years ago and produced a series of "mini Pc" translators. They finally reached a better result with their new product: the Prime AP760. This is a translator perfectly suited to deal with the language barrier stuff. It has 103 dictionaries on board, out of which 41 are monolingual (English only).
This laptop shaped handheld will surely help globe trekkers, especially the English speaking ones. It is a powerful translator (and traveling companion) that also includes a pronunciation guide to help you better vocalize that native South Eastern accents. It also features a 4.6- inch touchscreen display (colorful enough). In fact, it has direct input via optical pen that allows you to write (draw maybe) Asian ideograms. The thing also sports a collection of writing and grammar exercises and tests with animation and voice.
The device features some indispensable multimedia features that will ease your journey. MP3 Playback is supported either from the integrated stereo or from a set of eardrubs. It also lets you keep a neat traveling audio journal (or just record stuff) using the voice recording feature. Doosan ships the Prime AP760 with a 1 GB removable SD card.
It's way too big to fit your pockets, but it might actually be a good choice when you're having problems communicating in a foreign country. If you want it, you'll have to fly to Korea (South Korea, of course). The Prime AP76 will hit the shops in the middle of April and it will sell for 307$. The company also has a shop for English-speaking customers that may offer the device soon (looks like the shop assistants will use the Prime too).
