I totally understand, I would rather use my iPhone instead of a dedicated electronic dictionary, but all my professors don’t allow cell phones during class. (I know right? :P) So I just use it out of necessity, because for some reason they’re OK…

I am so glad to have found this entry on “electronic dictionaries”! I downloaded “Japanese” and “Kotoba” and especially the “Kanji handwriting tool” from “Japanese” is what I needed and why I would have bought an electronic dicitionary. It feels good to know to have saved about 150 Euros! Thank you so much for the hint!

Useless post. If you are serious about studying language, there is no substitute for a good Japanese/English/(Chinese) electronic dictionary. They have many features not available in any trendy app. Such as: history, quick jump, cross-reference, on-screen writing recognition, vocabulary by category, phrases by category, etc, etc, etc. The best online dictionary is free: Denshi Jisho. But it has no Chinese, little history, and requires that you be online to use it.

I appreciate the input on your ipod stuff, and you make good points, but I also see flaws from further research/reviews. It’s fine that you gave your opinion, but I and many others I’m sure were looking for something related to shopping for the Electronic Dictionarys (what makes a winner or loser device). This is just a reader/random stranger’s critic, might want to add a little more related info to the subject inquired.

I love my denshi dictionary – but that’s just because I’ve had it for almost 6 years now and I know its functions so well. Had smart phones and their apps been as accessible and advanced back when I bought my denshi jisho I would probably not have bothered with the denshi jisho….

I have downloaded a free jisho onto my phone for the accessibility for when I don’t have my denshi on me – but it’s pretty well neglected when I’m at home. Then again before my denshi jisho I bought an $80 Nelson dictionary. It still gets used occasionally… but for the main part its neglected because my denshi jisho replaced it – so who knows :)
