Sharp PW-AC10 e-Dictionary

Want access to the complete dictionaries of a dozen common world languages in the palm of your hand?  While this information and more could easily be had with a basic smartphone, some frequent world travelers without stable Internet connections may still find it convenient to keep the translated lexicons of various cultures in their back pocket.  For those in need of such a device, Sharp has announced its PW-AC10 e-dictionary.

The smartphone-esque looking device includes a 2.4″ color LCD screen and boasts up to 110 hours of operation on just two AAA-batteries.  It comes in three colors.   Priced at $149 and initially available in Japan only, we cant say this sits much higher than the WikiReader on our uselessness list, but like all crap-gadgets someone will find a use for it.
