Pocket AUDIO Translator (HEAR a phrase, then translate and SPEAK that phrase in a foreign language) HUGE breakthrough device for US Military etc

I have been waiting for this device for YEARS, a Translation device that takes what you say and VERBALLY translates it into another language (say to French or German) so the local HEARS what you say in THEIR language. It then takes their reply (again say in French or German) and translates that into English so you can HEAR what they said.

The AUDIO translation device, which is about the size of any Olympus pocket recorder/transcriber (which I use at my office), and used about the same way, handles 43 different languages.

I first talked about the concept of this kind of AUDIO Translator to friends back in the 1970's and fully expected it to be here by 2000, 2010 at the latest, but it has taken longer to develop than I first imagined.

Depending upon the cost "I" will become an early adopter since I am terrible at foreign languages and struggle just to do simple phrases and requests when I travel overseas - not even counting the fact that I can't understand the replies of the locals at all.

GREAT NEW TECHNOLOGY THAT WILL MAKE FOREIGN TRAVEL MUCH EASIER!!

Oh ... COST? $90!!

I can see most US Military platoons on overseas deployment, maybe even individual soldiers, carrying this device with them - or a clone - in less than 3 years.

Businessmen who travel overseas who are NOT fluent in the language of the country they are going to, will almost be required to carry this device - or a clone.
(oh and thank you Godlike Productions ... this showed up on an ad that was attached to a video that was posted in the hurricane thread - otherwise I wouldn't know it existed even though I read the tech news stuff daily)
