2.0 out of 5 stars Save your money - Don't bother!, 26 Aug 2008
By A. Green (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I found the device impractical and slow. I thought it would translate phrases but it doesn't. It has a stock set of phrases such as "A kilo of..." but you can't then add a word and get the machine to translate the whole phrase. You have to type in the word and translate it separately then add it to the phrase you have already forgotten.
I would suggest anyone wishing to converse at this pace should buy a phrase book and a dictionary, you could then sit for an afternoon in the pub preparing your own phrase book and paying for the beer with the considerable amount of change you would have.
To be fair, the machine does do everything it says but I have come to expect significant advances in computing power for this kind of money and what I got was reminiscent of the Sinclair ZX81 (if anyone is old enough to remember them). It says there are games and I suspect they do meet the dictionary definition but they are about the level of "Can you find A on the key board?".
The currency converter was the only thing I found useful.
All in all, if this was £10 it would still be overpriced!
