A quick word of warning regarding the OXIMATE electronic dictionary!

1) It's a very good dictionary but it has some disadvantages:
 the keyboard is very small (I personally find it hard to use but some
kids have no problem.).

2) It is very sophisticated. it can do a lot and you have to learn how
to use it. good for smart 5 pointers who need the English definition
and who can understand how to toggle the options. I found that 4
pointers couldn't deal with it.

3) Its even MORE expensive than the others ( I haven't checked
recently but it was last time I looked).
