Korea has plenty of e-dictionaries on sale right now and their numbers just got bigger with the introduction of a Windows XP e-Dic. The M1D (M1D-101KWA) still falls under the mbook model of makers UMID and in fact shares the same hardware as the M1 mbook but shaved .2GHz in processor speed and sans the [...]

We’ve featured quite a number of edictionaries in this blog. These devices never seem to lack entertainment features, but that may change soon with the introduction of the SAFA Magic Study. This educational gadget seems focused on education. It supports video playback but these videos are to be educationaly, that is strictly stated in the [...]

The new iRiver D7 (from the Dicple line of e-Dictionaries) is a smaller device of the same form factor as the D50n announced last CES. The D7 has a 3-inch 480 x 272 touchscreen, PMP and e-dic functionality as well as optional DMB. It looks like a great video and music player with 30fps video [...]

First it’s the Wave Home, the P7 then the P35 and now its the D50N, completing iRiver’s January announcements. The D50N is the latest in iRiver’s Dicple line of eDictionaries. It’s meant to be a portable networking device with WiFi connectivity included in the usual laundry list of eDic and media playback features. The screen [...]

The PMP-e-Dctionary models from iRiver makes us very curious. We don’t know how successful the iRiver Dicple is in Korea and Japan, where it’s available, but the couple or so Dicple eDictionaries I’ve seen owned by Korean friends have mildly impressed me. I’m sure I’d rather go for UMID’s M1 mBook, which seems to have [...]

Maxian is a maker of masculine portable media players.

If you don’t mind brick-like iPhone clones with stylus input on the touchscreen, you’d find the UDEA D250 will suit your needs as a PMP. It’s a mini-eDic as well with 32 different dictionaries in 4 languages and comes with handwriting recognition. It’s of course an audio and video player as well as photo viewer [...]

We’ve mentioned before how KaonMedia’s UPOP is more like a UMPC than a PMP and now you can judge for yourself (if you’re in Korea, that is). The 4.8-inch 800 x 480-pixel PMP looks sexier than ever now that its UI has been revealed. The tilt and slide screen looks cool revealing a 61-key pad [...]

Maybe this is how the Koreans want their e-dictionaries, but the Digitalcube i-station UDIC is the third e-dictionary I’ve seen that resembles a laptop (the other two being the Hannuri Nurian X10 and the iRiver D5). The i-station UDIC comes with fifty dictionaries (are they all in English? Korean? Or are these dictionaries for [...]

Sharp’s SP600 is not the sleekest PMP on the market, but it’s both a learning and an entertainment PMP. The 4.3-inch screen gives you touch control and the Windows CE 5.0 OS features a rangy multi-media support: DIVX, MPEG1/2/4, WMV7/8/9, H.264BP, ASF videos and and MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG, AAC audio. This e-Dictionary and [...]
