  2. Wow!

    There seems to be quite a lot of these small form factor laptops about nowadays.

    Personally though i would be looking for some form of tablet with a touch screen - so this is probably not quite the sort of thing i would want. :(

  4. Jean, my edic is bought in Korea and cost me 190,000won. The exchange rate then was 1 to 620won. The edic should be "cheaper" now since Sing dollar has gone up.

    James, this isn't a small-form factor laptop. It is just a humble electronics dictionary. I am sure it is not what you are looking for :)

    Cheryl, this edic is not only nice to look at but is also packed with functions. One thing that never disappoint is the MP3 playback function and that's iRiver strength.

  5. Is there a dictionary that you can install on your laptop?

  6. perhaps there is. i normally use online dictionary so there is really no need for me to install dictionary in my laptop.

  7. Hi!!
    I really like your dictionary it's awesome!!! I want to buy one but my korean isn't good enough to buy one in a korean website. Is there any english website or english translation where i can buy one?

  8. Thanks pelchos!

    I did a search and this dictionary is being sold in ebay at $299 USD. When I bought mine in Korea, it only cost me about $220 USD. Lack of other alternatives, you may like to check out the following ebay site for online purchase

  9. Thank you!!
    Well i think i'll have to organize a trip to Korea to buy electronic stuff but the only problem is the language. i'll ask my korean friends about it...it's difficult to find the correct one because the possibilities are huge(different models). In Spain is not very used this kind of device but since i'm learning chinese and korean it's a good tool.

    Anyway thanks a lot!

  12. hi, I'm intending to get an e-dictionary but I can't decide on which brand: iriver/sharp/nurian. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance! (:

  13. the choice of serious korean language learners is nurian. iriver's strength is design and multimedia while sharp is just another e-dic.

    nurian x15 should be good enough. anything more, you'll be paying for things that you don't use.

  14. I was actually thinking of nurian x35 or iriver d100. I understand that nurian has a wider range of dictionaries, but how's the iriver one you have so far? is it sufficient for intermediate users?

    ReplyDelete
  15. iriver is sufficient for intermediate users.

    if content is impt, i will go for either nurian x15 or x16. if style is impt, i will go for iriver d100. from what i see when comparing specs, x35 is actually inferior (content-wise) to x15 0r x16, so i don't think it is worth paying extra for its sleek design and some other functions which you probably won't ever use.

    actually, you may not need a e-dic after all. if you have iphone, try to search for apps on KOR-ENG dictionary. you can also use naver or daum online dictionary, they are quite adequate. frankly, i seldom touch my e-dic these days. i rely entirely on daum dictionary for meaning of words. my e-dic is now a white elephant.

  16. hmm i see, okay, thanks a bunch (:

    haha in that case, would you be looking to sell your e-dic by any chance? i do have an iphone with dictionary apps, but the battery life is very bad, especially when i turn on 3G. it probably lasts about 4hrs or so? so i was trying to find something more lasting, and since they come with mp3 functions it's good too (:

  17. if my e-dic is in good shape, i'll sell. but, its battery life is now much worse than your iphone. some rubber cushions have also disintegrated. i shall keep it as souvenir then.

    there are 2 things you can do now. one, upgrade to iphone4 which has longer battery life. two, buy iriver becos its mp3 music sounds much better than ipod. nurian or iphone is never going to win iriver in mp3 sound quality.
