We're suckers for great gadgets and cool apps -- especially ones that provide a much-needed service (Hey, we love playing Tetris on our phone, but you know ...)
So, Road Warriors, the next time you're in a country where you're not exactly fluent, be sure your smartphone has the TransImage app on it. In a nutshell, this mobile visual translation app will allow you to take a photo of a sign or text that's in a language other than your own, and then translate the words into something you can understand.
So simple, yet very cool and useful.
It's available for the iPhone now, but the geniuses at TransPerfect promise that BlackBerry and Android versions are on the way.
