PalmOS and Windows based phones are also nice choices.
I used a palm pilot PDA for years with learning apps and dictionaries
You don't have to break the bank to buy a Iphone or Japanese electric dictionary to have pocket power nor be tied to online contracts.
Not really what you asked about but some alternatives.

I wouldn't use it in Japan, unfortunately - I'm not likely to be able to get there
I'd certainly have to investigate a Japanese language pack on anything I do get. I hadn't thought of that. I feel that I'm too old to be able to get my head round ll of the options, but you've given me some good pointers on where to start. Thanks!
