Irispen Translator 6 Review

It was the most horrible experience. The box promisses that the pen will translate from 11 language pairs including German - Russian. When I installed it it comes out that it translates only from English and to English. I called their customer survice in the US. They were totally incompetent and said that the box is incorrect. I talked to the fist represenatative who answered the phone and his supervisor. Next day I called their customer support in Belgium and it comes out that I had to install German language which was on the same CD. After installation it started working, however the translation is absolutely ridiculous. We had several good laughs and returning this product. It can not translate simple sentences, it gives the most ridiculuous translation of individual words and the customer support in the states should be fired if IRIS wants to stay in business

Lingo Navigator Talking Translator (TTN-12) Review

This fun little machine served me very well as I prepared for my trip to Paris. It is easy to use and makes learning fun. My 7 year old still likes to play with it!
I learned several helpful phrases, with the correct pronunciation, making me much more confident as I tried to speak the language.
I didn't really use it much once I got there, as it just isn't fast enough to look up phrases in the moment.
Mostly I used it as a learning tool, and practiced before I encountered a situation. And for that it worked great.
I was glad to have it, in case of emergency, and it's lightweight compact size made it easy to toss in my purse. Much cooler than flipping through a phrase book. People think you're checking your email, or texting so you don't look like such a tourist!
I also used the alarm feature. The voice is clear and easy to understand most of the time. My batteries lasted all week.

Kensington 33117 International All-in-One Travel Plug Adapter Review

I bought this adapter for a trip to Egypt. It fit in the Egyptian outlet ok. I used it once to charge my camera batteries, it worked fine. Next I used it with my hair dryer and it would not work at all and it hasn't worked since. For the price, it should work longer than one use. I would be very wary about purchasing this product.

Sharp Electronics PW-E550 Electronic Dictionary Review

I hope someone could point me to where and how to get this repaired before the one year warranty expires.

Here's what happened.

About a couple of weeks ago, my PW-E550 suddenly went into an infinite loop of "initializing...", and I could not get it out by pressing the "reset" button on its back, changing to a new battery, or anything.

As soon as I press the power "on" button, the device started to ask me to

"Do you want to initialize?"
*Press [Y] to initialize
*Press [N] not to initialize

and no matter which key I pressed, it stayed at the above.

Did anyone encounter the same problem?

I bought this on July 18, 2008, and it's now July 11, 2009, I have fewer than 10 days left before the one year warranty expires.

I also bought another one of this same brand from ebay about 6-8 months before the above one from amazon. I gave it to my son who was just started his high school then. The ebay one costed about twice as much as the amazon one since it was sent from Australia with the additional cost of international shipping. But it works perfectly, no problem (yet?).

Before the Sharp e-dictionary, over the time span of more than 10 years, I bought somewhere close to 10 e-dictionaries all of which were the Franklin brand, which were very slow to use and had very bad UI layout which were the main reasons prompted me to look into other brands.
However, all my Franklin devices are still working, including the oldest one with a broken screen cover.
