eTranslators
For those traveling to places without knowledge of the language spoken in that area, dictionaries and translators the size of your cellphone abound to extract anybody in a tight language jam. No more tension-filled page flipping, since this time simply typing in your own language what you want gives you the equivalent in the foreign tongue.If you are a backpacker for whom the word "dead end" is taboo, or a similar globetrotter, then you may need the help of a comprehensive translator that can bring to your fingertips 12 languages. It's a matter of typing in what you want to tell someone, hitting enter and you instantly get spelling and pronunciation. Another way of input is to point to the device's screen or have it orally ask for directions, as the latest Franklin Speaking Global Translator has been announced to do.

eBooks
Speaking of whole dictionaries on 10-plus languages capable of fitting inside palm-sized devices, there is practically little need to mention eBooks or portable electronic readers.E-books were once glamour gadgets because, in digitized form, books were easy to distribute and store. The consequent consumer response was unexpectedly low, which were repelled by high prices and lack of enthusiasm by popular book retailers about digitizing publications. The clarity and power issues of displays in previous e-books have also been major bones of contentions in the past.
Newer eBooks may or may not have the capability of grabbing fresh material from the Web each time you synchronize, making you take the extra effort to get a peek of the New York Times, or the best restaurant reviews. But don't forget to inquire if your prospect can play MP3, music or audio books.
