Learn Japanese on Your Windows Mobile Device

Having a Windows Mobile phone (i.e. something that's likely to be with you even more and therefore even more convenient than a PDA) opens up additional opportunities for learning Japanese and using reference tools such as dictionaries.

A search of Handango (long one of the leading vendors of software for Windows Mobile) currently lists gives 152 results when searching for Japanese in the Windows Mobile Professional (i.e. X01HT-like) category. Unfortunately there are only 7 matching apps for WM Standard (i.e. X02HT-like) devices, but still that's a good enough selection to be able to find something useful. (The X02HT is not listed on the site so choose the T-Mobile Dash with is a very similar device).

I'll aim to do some more in-depth reviews of some of the best Japanese software over the coming months.
