The iTravl and 900 series are optionally available with additional items, packaged as separate products. For example:

Deluxe

The iTravl comes in a Deluxe version (for certain language pairs). "Deluxe" means you get a scanning pen and cradle charger with it. That's a pretty sweet deal, when you compare the package price to the individual prices. The 900-series also gives you a Deluxe version, which again is a scanning pen (no cradle) bundled at a cost-savings. Please note that, for Russian, scanning is limited to one word at a time.

Grand

The 900-series Grand version is a Deluxe, but also with a GPS and:

• GPSR module.
• 4GB language card w/GPS map.
• Car holder.
• Car power adapter.
• Headphones with mic.
• Pouch.

That said, these devices are so simple to operate that most people can start translating without ever having read the manual.

We offer the complete line of accessories for all of the translators we sell. You can find accessories from the Accessories tab of the product page for any specific translator.

A part of Illyria in ancient times and later of the Roman Empire, Albania was ruled by the Byzantine Empire from 535 to 1204. An alliance (1444–1466) of Albanian chiefs failed to halt the advance of the Ottoman Turks, and the country remained under at least nominal Turkish rule for more than four centuries, until it proclaimed its independence on Nov. 28, 1912.
