Knives Posted May 14, 2009 at 01:24 AM Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 at 01:24 AM Hi, I need advice on buying an electronic translator. There is a crazy ammount of them on the market but to be honest I don't need anything fancy (ie. talking,scanning...) but what I do need is something that works the same was as NJ Star Chinese WP (pinyin to english and characters) which I assume most of you are familiar with. I will be really grateful for any advice. I have found a similar topic/request as mine but It was dated 2007 so I can take a wild guess that maybe someone has something new to say...

flameproof Posted May 14, 2009 at 04:50 AM Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 at 04:50 AM I still love Pleco and wouldn't use anything else. Not the cheapest, but suits my needs 98% (I took out 2% to encourage them to develop a Wubi trainer, or do at least a Wubi keyboard) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flameproof Posted May 14, 2009 at 02:03 PM Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 at 02:03 PM I used it first on my h1940 PDA and now on my HTC Diamond phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knives Posted May 14, 2009 at 02:49 PM Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 at 02:49 PM that's what i thought i'd do - get a pda... now to make a good choice - there is so many models out there! ;-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameproof Posted May 15, 2009 at 01:10 AM Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 at 01:10 AM ok, right, but now we are getting into preferences and tastes.... If I would have to buy a PDA again I would still buy the H1910 or H1940, because it's quite thin and fits my shirt pocket. Has no phone function though. Can be bought 2nd hand for less then $100 I guess. I see them all the time in the 2nd hand gadget shops in HK. But now I prefer my HTC Touch Diamond. It's even smaller, thinner and it's a phone. But there is one thing I don't like - the screen is of course smaller, still workable though. If your budget is tight, Pleco still runs well on older PDA which you can buy 2nd hand. I can't see a speed difference between the H19*0 (I forgot which one I have, they are almost identical) from 2003 and the HTC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knives Posted May 15, 2009 at 02:40 AM Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 at 02:40 AM don't really want a phone to be honest. just a translator, and a gps woudl be useful.. also small, light and thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameproof Posted May 15, 2009 at 06:37 AM Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 at 06:37 AM H1910 can load iGo GPS software. There are no maps for China though. Plus you need an external bluetooth GPS mouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
