Well so far I was looking into getting an electronic dictionary. However, I read through some forums and I was actually really surprised that the iphone had some really good apps set up for reading Japanese. The cool thing is that it has a stylus where you can enter kanji characters and look them up. I also have some stuff for that on my Nintendo DS, but I feel like it’s really only good for looking up a few characters and it just doesn’t have the all in one multi tasking convenience of a phone. My Steve Jobs esque comment aside I think an iphone 4 would be really helpful for learning and it also has Japanese TV, and Audio so I won’t need my ipod anymore. Also I like the tools that are built in to study for the JLPT test.
