Some of my Korean friends are ranting and raving about a new handheld device that is soon to be released in the Korean market. If they weren't able to translate this information so as for me to understand, I would've thought they were discussing last night's stag party! Well, in listening closely to their conversation, I generally got the idea that it was something they were all looking forward to.
This new
multimedia device that is soon to be released in the Korean market is a new multimedia PDA. It basically has the same features as to the PDAs we have here, but of course, it has additional features that best suits a Korean's preference for mobile devices. This PDA has been developed by CIIT, a company which is a very well-known producer of handheld devices in Korea.
I don't know if this device is fundamentally usable to the American market, but I don't think any self-respecting American would give himself a hard time trying to access the features and functions of this PDA just to save a few bucks! That's right, 'cause this PDA is Linux-based, which means that it is backed up by open source development, which would generally make it cheaper than those PDAs we have here. Well, at least it has an English-Korean dictionary. This would be very helpful for those Korean friends of ours who spend a lot of cash just trying to learn the English language. With this tool, the Koreans of the world would have an easier time being as productive as they want to be. Well, this is because this device has
fast internet connection capabilities, as well as support for multimedia playback!
