Here's a nifty little gadget and would be great to have in school! The Merriam-Webster MWD-480 has an MP3 player supports audio books, podcasts, and music.
"The Merriam-Webster Dictionary & MP3 Player from Franklin has 274,000 definitions in its database and includes some great functions which will help in improving an individual’s vocabulary. There are features like Phonetic Spell Correction, a Confusables(R) function which tells you the difference between similar sounding words, and a Crossword Puzzle Solve feature too! Users will also dig the onboard five games, and a local/world clock. The MWD-480 has a memory card slot and is currently available for $79.99."

This would be great to have but I actually already have something like this.......... my Palm TX! My Palm TX came with a Merriam Webster Pocket Dictionary that was included with eReader. And of course Pocket Tunes also came with the TX so you've got your dictionary and MP3 player all in one! And there are plenty of games to be bought and gotten for Free for the TX, plus the TX comes with the world clock! The MWD-480 does have some features that the TX doesn't like the Phonetic Spell Correction, the Confusables function, and the Crossword Puzzle Solve feature.
Anyway, I'll just stick with my Palm TX!
