Yeah, I have the Talkman and I must admit its pretty useless as a tool to be used out on the streets. The load times are pretty long and I don't think the speakers are powerful enough so that the Talkman could be heard in a noisy enviornment. As far as it's pronunciation correction abilities...it gave Mrs. CheapyD low marks on several occasions despite the fact that she is a native speaker of Japanese. It does have use as a way for people to memorize some phrases, but it's not going to really teach someone a language.
