The Multi-Talented Sharp Papyrus PW-TC900

Having a gadget that can translate across languages is cool. But it’s even better if you can also use that device as a television set. It’s way better if the gadget can serve as your photo viewer or even MP3 player when you insert an SD card or MMC with your media files. The Sharp Papyrus PW-TC900 does just that!

This is the first Japanese and Japanese-English dictionary with a 1Seg digital TV tuner and a SUPERB display. Only Sharp can make such displays, thanks to their ASV technology (resolution: 480×272). AS TV alone is never enough in Japan, the dictionary also has an MP3 player and an SD slot.

The TC900 will be available in Japan this December. Sharp has not yet announced pricing.
