Dear Dynamint, I picked up a Canon Wordtank G55 for US$240 (plus P&H) on eBay and this has turned out to be a great deal. I believe it's the dictionary with the MOST words in each of its dictionaries. It has a Jap-Jap, Jap-Eng, Eng-Jap, Eng-Eng, Eng Thesaurus, Eng Collocations, Jpn Thesaurus, Kanji, and Katakana dictionaries, along with a multiple search function.
This seller also sells the Wordtank V80, but this one didn't interest me because of all the Chinese it has with it. It does have an input pen that can be used to write on the screen. This dictionary is slightly more expensive at US$280 (plus P&H). I also used an earlier model Wordtank and find these to be great value, reliable and full of information. The link that should work for this seller is: http://search.ebay.com.au/_W0QQsassZnjdigitalQQhtZ-1 Hope this helps!
