At this time the design can be attractive, like an iPhone rendered in paper thin glass, but the actual clincher about the Universal Translator is there’s nobody to back it up yet. What we indicate is this device remains 100% pure idea.
Regardless of the lack of information, the Universal Translator has fixed the eye of many a blog, us built-in, and been greeted with both eagerness and contempt. You might as well include head-scratching to that listing.
Because as far as concepts walk off, the designers typically stay within the limits of present technology—their reach doesn’t exceed our seize so to speak. Not the Universal Translator, whose glass shell you use to peer at distant names, text and position that are then interpreted and translated.This is theoretical to strike a last blow at civilization and verbal communication barriers and maybe bring humankind together in perpetual peace. Okay, scrape that last bit. Anyway, the translating software wanted to realize its lofty goals ruins a question mark.
As far as specs go, those icons you see on the Universal Translator’s screen offer the barest hint as to what kind of tech this baby will run on.
In any case, you are probably better off buying an iPhone 4 with an app that reads text through the camera and translates it on the fly (there’s none yet but you bet your knickers there will be one soon). The Android Marketplace already has one that translates Chinese and Japanese characters so it might be closer than you think.
