It’s tony from Australia.
As I said on the phone to you last week the ntl-2ch units worked very well for us in china, just a few comments you might like to note for further reference in updates of the unit, we mainly used the text translator over there which worked quite well although a lot of the words did not make any sense to them, probably because the Chinese language has so many different meanings for each word, however it was enough for them to basically understand what we were talking about, more updates in this area would be very advantages. also the there are no instructions on how to use the Chinese keyboard we finally worked it out but I also think it would be advantages to put some instructions in the manual, all the units seem to have a small basic fault ,such as when you fully charge the unit sometimes the low battery light comes on and it switches off, once you switch it on and off a few times its ok, this happened on all three units, it’s not a big problem I think your technicians should be able to solve it, the last thing was the battery life it’s not very long I would estimate one and a half hours of use, using the text translation, is the most you can get out of a unit, less if you’re using the phrasebook or language learning, I think if you can rectify these small problems you will have the best communication device in the world.
While I was in china I took the opportunity to look at some local devices there were many to choose from one in particular was quite good, you actually write the letters on the unit with the pointer.
But as I said none of them were as good as yours, hope these comment help you with your further development of this product.
Kind regards
