iPod as Interpreter?

Cool Guerilla and LastMinute.com (an online travel site) have teamed up to offer virtual phrase books for the iPod. The language packs install items in both the iPod Notes folder and a number of audio files. Combined, they offer both the functionality of a phrase book that can be used while traveling and a variation on the traditional cassette or CD offerings for learning the basics of a foreign language. So far language packs are available for both French and German with plans for Spanish and Greek to be released soon. What's even better is that unlike many iPod add-ons (and most phrase books or audio guides), the packs are available free. Check them out but beware that you have only a limited time from requesting a download to respond to the email granting you access to the download site.
