PSP Vault folks hit the Sony Building in Tokyo to find out a bit more about the upcoming language translator for the Playstation Portable. The Talkman will have a library of about 3,000 sentences in four languages (English, Korean, Chinese and Japanese). It will have two modes Talk and Game. The Talk Mode will be used to translate sentences in a selected language and then say them out loud so you can "make friends with foreigners." The Game Mode will be more of a language tutor with the system grading how well you repeat phrases.
Sounds pretty cool. I hope they release a version in the U.S. I think this will be the first "non-game" to hit the PSP. I wonder if they will continue to expand in that area.
