A lot of apps for your I-Phone are pretty cool. Angry Bird, Rosetta Stone tools, maps and the like. But here comes an app that you can REALLY use while you travel to places where you're a little 'lost in translation.' This is "Word Lens", a I-Phone app you can download for free from the app store. In a nutshell this app translates printed words from one language to another instantly without any Internet connection using your I-Phone camera. Just point the camera at a sign in Spanish and on your I-Phone screen you'll see that same very sign, but in English! How cool is that?

Of course you can always just snag a I-Phone below for $710 from Amazon. It's the big boy at 16 gigs which should hold plenty of vacation photos, apps and even movies.
