Posted in: 10-inch, asus, tags: , ,

We may not know this little feature or should I say add on due to the slew of details and information that we have read coming from the Computex. Xcome Technology, a mobile solutions provider and Asustek have preloaded the Eee PC 901 and Eee PC 1000 series with the XLex Bilingual dictionary. The bilingual dictionary features the latest content from world-renowned dictionary publishers Longman and Berlitz, the dictionary covers English to English, English to Traditional Chinese and English to Simplified Chinese. It also contains 220,000 words and phrases for the Greater China market. For the European and Asian markets the dictionary offers English to German, French, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Japanese and Korean.

The said bilingual dictionary also features a clean design and intuitive user interface, with true-voice learning emphasized Text-to-Speech functionality, instant definition, and mini-mode.

    Great. That’s what we need. More non-free crap. If we get enough “partners” we can clutter this as much as a dell!

    Are you referring to feature or free-app bloat? I beg to differ.

    This is confirmed by ASUS, this bilingual dictionary will be preloaded in the EeePC with no additional charge to the customers for the full version of the software, not a “light” trial version. The language configuration will depend on where you purchase your EeePC. If you were to buy the print version, it retails for about $35 USD on Amazon and doesn’t have text to speech functionality. Portable, easy to use and offering a recognized and trusted brand dictionary, this is a definite value-add.
