English <--> Chinese Translator February 2, 2009

AM101 Electronic English Chinese Translator / Dictionary - Translates English Sentence / Phrase / Words to Chinese and Vice Versa (Voice: Mandarin Chinese/English):
Product was new and arrived promptly. It is quite useful and worth the investment. Were the software a bit better organized it would stupendous. But for someone whose mastery of Chinese is less than stellar, I would rate it down a bit (to 4 of 5 stars) because one has to march through extra steps to get the information most useful to the novice.

I would like to update my previous review (see below).
Also would like but am unable to grant an extra star.
I have been living in China for a couple of months now and use the AM101 almost daily. So on this new experience i feel i should adjust the general feeling of my previous review.
What i use it for is help translating and writing text messages, ask something in writing in the shops and even have complete (shallow of course) conversations with Chinese friends. There are some really great featers on this deivce, like the quick startup time, the AAA batteries (and long battery life), the screen and keyboard lights (not so long battery life), the easy understanding for Chinese how to write and the simple but relatively accurate sentence translation. It does take some time to get used to how to handle the device, which words and grammar to use for explaining and how to interpret the Chinese to English translation. Therefore some basic knowledge of most used Chinese words and pinyin is maybe important for more accuracy. But once you have the feel for it, it does a very good job in daily conversations via whatever media.
So, before i was looking more at the technical value and thought i could be better off. But now i am looking more practically. It is not a multilangual human brain, but for such a small and handy device it is absolutely outstanding.
++++
I think a well made, orderly device, hardware wise. But the software i find a bit clumsy. There could be a lot of improvements here to make it really worth using, because it seems not to be made for real-time usage. But it does have some pinyin and pronunciations, so maybe the best for little on the market.
What i do like is that input is pinyin, what i dont is that there is no intonation (fi. rang4). So you have to know the characters to find a Chinese word. There is multiple character word search, and the division between basic and 'advanced' E>C is quite useful. This is only because the 'advanced' is so difficult to handle though. This because there is no direct pinyin (you can cursor to the characters to get the pinyin) and there are many descriptive explanations in the language of the word that you seek. Very not handy because for these description there is no pinyin so there is no way to find out what it is saying (in E>C fi, type 'and' and there is a whole screen full of characters that make your eyes spin...). I think there shouldnt have to be a description at all, just a list of accurate translations is much more practical.
The linking option is very handy, you can find the pinyin, get a clear pronunciation and find the detailed translation of a word or character. Too bad that from the translation there is this strange and confusing sequence of actions to do for it. Also from the translation there is no pinyin and an unclear pronunciation which makes this feature not easy to use in a conversation. And why not make a key or double click to get the C>E translation? The basic (unfortunately only E>C) is i think the best usable because there is a clear screen appearing with just one or a few translations with pinyin and just one button for linking.
I am not that interested in all the extras like the tools and information about China etc, but the pinyin pronunciation seems quite handy. Very meager without some more grammar and particles and stuff like that. And why not a easy clock/alarm screen-saver/function?
All and all, very decent and appears to be quite accurate. BBK's service is outstanding. But i do hope for a serious upgrade.
 Expensive translator - poor sound December 2, 2008

Beware! This translator does not translate to pin yin, and the speaker volume is very low. The dictionary does pinyin. I might update this review if I find more - good or bad.
Ok, not the best for its price November 16, 2008

I was very impressed with this translator at first - it does work very well to translate from chinese Pinyin, and it is of fairly good quality, but I am now no longer quite as impressed, after buying a nicer one with more features (including a writing pad where I could write what a chinese character looks like and it would look it up for me and find the Pinyin, a feature this one sadly neglects, though it does have a dictionary based on radicals) at 75% the price [although, I bought the other one in Taiwan and don't know how readily available it is here]. So, all in all, it's not a bad translator, but certainly not the best buy for your money
