While some people would say that the iTravl is what I use to write my posts*, I don't really know how well it translates between English and the eight languages it supports using its look-Ma-no-hands speech recognition system. Jump for more details and see my nipples explode with delight!
Just for its cheesy, retro sci-fi look, however, I wouldn't care if it translated my "Hello, where can I have a pizza, please?" to "Take your pants down and take me to your leader!" when I visit Moscow.
In addition to translating your gringo babbling into Chinese, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish out loud (and vice versa), the Ectato's iTravl includes Fodor's guides for 50 cities around the world and audio guides to the most important museums.
According to the company, the $499 iTravl recognizes 63,000 phrases and includes 1,600,000 words and even slang terms, like "twant" and "clunt." Or something like that. [Product page via Pocket Lint]

@sammy baby: i know it. i was hoping he wouldn't embed the video...and that it was something that we could throw around as an inside joke. it's kinda like hearing your favorite indie band that no one else knows about being played on the radio...uggghhh. that said....
does your wife like.....photographs, eh eh?
Does the Fodor guide include Whicker Island?
... where gin and tonics jingle in a gyroscopic jubilee of something beginning with 'j'...
So, wait, it can get you a hooker in 50 countries?
Awesome in a nerdy way.
After all, what's the point of visiting foreign lands if you can't get smacked upside the head by some woman you inappropriately told had a lovely bunch of coconuts when in fact you just wanted to order a beer?
Twat means vagina o.O
Well in NY
I mean it looks like a cool device. I would love to use that so i can dirty talk 2 french natives o.O
My favorite Python sketch of all times. But I've seen a better version... the one from the original series. Starts with some dramatic music.
