my bro shouted me to come and see this thing on TV today, was on Richard and Judy (very naff UK program for those of you that don't know)...
anywho, it was a small portable translator where you speak into it, and it'll translate into any language (it actuall talks back in the selected language)...
they were on about developing it into a hearing-aid sized device...
WOW! that's great...how cool......it wasn't until someone mentioned a 'Prof. Joe King' that I started thinking...oh yeah, its april 1st...
