Talking phrase-book on PocketPC

"What would you rather have - a tatty old phrasebook that you have to hurriedly flip through whenever you want to form a simple sentence, often grossly mis-pronouncing the phrase and embarrassing yourself ten times over .. or a snazzy talking phrasebook on your ultra-cool Pocket PC ... "

... that lets you quickly get to the phrase you're looking for and ensures that you get the pronunciation right the first time, demonstrating yourself to be a worldly and sophisticated high-class jet-setter?"

The product is Mobilearn's "OutLoud" talking phrase-book, and there's an excellent review of it on Jenneth Orantia's personal web site describing how it performed on a visit by this Australian writer to France.

It contains all the information you'd need to assess how good it was. Well, nearly all. Jenneth remarks: " I also downloaded the 'Dating' module. While there's no guarantee that you'll be able to 'pick up' with the Dating module, all the phrases that you'd need to do so are certainly included!"

Heck, Jenneth; how about telling us how well it "pulled"? That's important information!
