• Audio Player. The iTravl has a media player with MP3 support.

The pre-loaded jetBook Reader even lets you read and translate your favorite eBooks with support for the widest array of file formats available anywhere. The jetBook Reader jetBook handles gif, jpg, mp3, pdf, and txt files.
• GPS. Connect a GPS receiver, and use your iTravl as a GPS unit.
• Video Player. Video Player support the widest range of video (.asf (h2 64), .flv, .mpeg4, .h.263, .divx, .mjpeg) and image formats so you can watch on the go.

• Calculator. The basic math functions, plus a few more things such as square root, inversion, and memory. A cool feature: It has a Back key!
• Calendar. OK, nothing mindblowing here. It's a calendar.
• CIA World Factbook. This is mindblowing. Tap on this selection, and your next step is to pick a letter that the country of interest starts with. Pick T, for example, and you can choose from the countries that start with T. Select Thailand, and you get a list of categories below the Taiwanese flag--as if you were looking up Taiwan in a massive encyclopedia. Well, actually, you are. There's even a map.
• Cultural Notes. This brings up an item called "Modern Arab-Isalmic Traditions." There's an information block (facts) and a learning block (multiple choice quizzes).
• English Dictionary. This is the WordNet Princeton Dictionary of Modern English, with over 70,000 head words and detailed explanations. It includes all of the typical dictionary information, such as part of speech, senses, tenses, synonyms, and examples of use.
• Metric Conversions. This is graphically enhanced and interactive. Well done.
• Notepad. This handy feature allows you to quickly jot down directions, thoughts, or anything else you need to note. With the iTravl, you don't need to also carry around a bulky notepad. The iTravl is about the size of a typical pocket notepad, and you get that functionality and so much more!
• Size Equivalents. Do you know the size equivalents for shirts, blouses, and shoes in the USA, UK, Europe, and Japan? Few people do. Climbers know their European shoe sizes, but most folks don't. Today,most sneakers have both European and USA sizes--take a look at yours. OK, but what about your shirt? In the USA and UK, the neck measurement determines the man's shirt size. Not so everywhere else. A woman who normally wears a size 6 blouse will have to buy a size 10 in the UK or a size 5 in Japan. In Europe, that would be a size 38. You're shopping while traveling, right?
• World time. Pretty handy when you are traveling around the world! Pretty handy if you're not traveling around the world but need to know world time anyhow.  This is nicely done with a combination of graphics and picklists.

• Speech to speech translation. We want to be very clear about this. You cannot talk into a translation device and get a translation out.
• Phone. The iTravl doesn't dial out. Not even for pizza.
• A stun setting. While this would be extremely useful in airport lines and rock concerts, it is unfortunately not included in the iTravl.

Smart phone apps. Sometimes, customers ask why they should buy a pocket translator instead of a smart phone app. It's a good question, because smart phones like the Android are awesome products. But then, so are pocket translators.

1. The iTravl and 900-series pocket translators have four translation tools, and most other models have at least two. The app is only one tool, and while it is helpful it's a debutante rather than a specialist.
2. A smart phonecan hold a translation app. Pocket translators are translation devices that also hold other apps.
3. Pocket translators work, whether you have a signal or not.
4. Pocket translators don't report back your location, and don't have a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM card).
5. You won't be barred from bringing a pocket translator into a secure location, because it doesn't have acamera.

Laptops. Yes, a laptop will run circles around a pocket translator if, for example, you want to crunch a big spreadsheet. But pocket translators have some advantages:

1. A mobile device is always on. You don't need to wait for it to boot up, as you do with your laptop.
2. A pocket translator fits in your pocket. Try getting your laptop to do that.
3. A pocket translator weighs quite a bit less than a laptop does.
4. With the pocket translator, you get the full functionality of translator programs, vs something pared down for laptop use.
5. The form factor of the pocket translator is geared toward translation, and that's not true of a laptop.

Human interpretors. If you thought getting a laptop into your pocket was tough, try that with a 150 lb person! A pocket translator has some other advantages:

1. You don't need to schedule a pocket translator to meet you somewhere.
2. You don't need to pay a pocket translator by the hour or buy it meals.
3. A pocket translator is a machine that provides exact translation. A human interpreter, well, interprets. So it's sometimes someone's opinion of what you meant to say instead of what you said.
4. Human translators have varying degrees of competency. Sometimes, they guess.
