They usually run from $230-$260 or so. You can order it online (just search google for retailers) or you can pick it up in Japan.

We were discussing various translator/dictionaries last night and several people recommended buying the Chinese versions by Canon and then purchasing the Japanese chip for it. Apparently the Canon's Chinese units have more features and may even be more available (cheaper?). And I noticed one of the people in the discussion was using some model of the WordTank.
