I do not think this is really true for Singapore. It is actually cheaper to use the phone cards in Singapore and I believe the phone call quality is better than Skype. > 2. wii, finally a game console that has full approval from my wife. Are there available in Singapore? It seems to me PS3 and Wii will only arrive late March 2007. > 3. umpc, eyeing sony vaio and samsung q1b now Nice but they are quite expensive... > 4.

So far only Besta dictionary has all the features. What do you mean by slide back and forth? So far I think my PC is the best MP3 palyer for me. And Besta to me is too expensive for a electronic dictionary and not as good as any PDA or PDA phone due to the lack of programming capability. I am a bit surprised to find out that the English-Chinses dictionaries for the Nokia 6280 is quite good (one is bundled with the phone and the other is from Kingsoft). -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
