I have dictionary software in which you can write the kanji and it finds it for you. As well as an English translation for most words. There's also quite a lot of software for practicing your written Japanese in the form of tests. The wordtanks seem to range from Y10,000 to Y25,000 so they can be cheaper than the Y20,000 DS Lite, but if you're on a tighter budget you can always pick up an old DS :) Anyway, that's my input on the subject, although it sounds like an advert for DS ^^; Oh, and you can also play games on it too!

He let me have a bit of a play with it and it looked pretty cool. Apparently has over 100 different dictionaries in six different languages. Not bad. Has anybody else heard of some good options out there? A freind of mine just bought Casio’s new XD-ST6200. He let me have a bit of a play with it and it looked pretty cool.
