Ectaco Inc. is a company dedicated to breaking the barrier of language, due to their translation devices and software. And now, in honor of the upcoming Jewish Holiday Rosh Hashanah, they would like to bridge the language gap even more by offering the Ectaco English/Yiddish Dictionary and Phrasebook FREE for Android users.

In the age of technology, it is unheard of to not own at least one Android device; whether it be a smartphone, tablet, Nexus etc… And now Ectaco has decided to honor those who wish to become more connected to their Jewish heritage right before this holiday by offering this software for FREE for the first time ever! This offer will become available two weeks before Rosh Hashanah begins, and it will not only last through the holiday, but permanently. This FREE program by Ectaco offers a database which is more extensive than any other in its class. The vocabulary on this software is extensive, and the functions are easy and meaningful. David Lubinitsky, Ectaco CEO, says “We hope this will give more people a chance to master the native language of their parents and grandparents."

It was not long ago that many thought the Yiddish language was outdated and had no future among Jewish descendants, however, the increasing demand for information on the language and interest in the language itself is proving otherwise. Many people who speak Yiddish would like their children to know the language as well, in the hopes of keeping the language alive. But it has become more than that. The passing on of the Yiddish language from generation to generation will become something of a tradition. It would be a terrible sadness to lose this historical language with today’s older generation. Therefore, it is not only with a fierce necessity to carry on an almost extinct language, but with a love for familial traditions and shared understanding. Also, today’s younger generation has developed an interest in learning the language of their grandparents and ancestors. It is with the hope of maintaining this interest and preserving the Yiddish language that Ectaco has decided to make this language-learning software so readily-available and accessible to all.

To download this FREE software onto your Android device, simply go to Ectaco website

Ectaco,Inc., the world leader in educational eReader and linguistic technology has released a major update for the jetBook Color eBook reader. This update injects the jetBook Color with more features, functions and optimizations.

Long Island City, New York (PRWEB)

Completely unique, the jetBook Color is the only eReader in the world specifically designed for use in the educational market and is the first device in mass production using the eye-friendly color E Ink screen. Packed with over 35 applications (programs) for learning and freedom to download eTextbooks from almost anywhere, the jetBook Color is already a must-have for schools looking to save money by offering affordable tools and textbook material. An interactive SAT preparation course, complete language teaching program, talking dictionaries, language translators, a graphing calculator and math/science reference guides are just a few things included on the device. A full description of the jetBook Color can be found on http://www.jetbookcolor.com

Educators crave autonomy of content and the jetBook Color delivers in a big way. The newly added Atom Pub feature allows a teacher to share class material with a student instantly via Wi-Fi. All class documents can be placed on the school server for easy access allowing books to be organized any way the educator sees fit like by course or grade level. Students can then select their classes or grade and download all the books instantly to their jetBook Color.

Also, the jetBook Color is fully compatible with the C-Pen scanner, a handheld tool which allows you to scan printed material and have it read aloud to you, translated to a different language, or even uploaded and stored on the jetBook Color. Users will also find a landscape mode, a 'clear all' button for in-book annotations and even a key-lock feature. A quick switch feature will allow the customer to easily navigate between two texts they are reading simultaneously. The interface of the jetBook Color can be viewed in one of 17 different languages, this is huge for international students and educators.

Numerous agencies have seen the product in action including the Department of Defense Educational Activity, United States Military, United States Air force, as well as hundreds of schools and universities all over the globe.

The needs of students and teachers are ever-changing; as such the jetBook Color will receive multiple firmware revisions/updates in the months to come. All of these updates are available online and no additional cost to the customer.

"The customers always provide invaluable feedback which we often use in development", states David Lubinitsky, CEO, Ectaco,Inc. when asked about the consumers role in this update. "The education of America's youth is at stake here, paying extreme attention to detail is a priority with the jetBook Color"

Ectaco, Inc., the world leader in portable translation technology, has tailored its education oriented jetBook Color with exceptional security features for the Department of Defense. These features are designed to eliminate access to the device by anyone other than the specified user, and promote a complete standalone unit safe for travel and use within the DoD.

The jetBook Color is the only touchscreen Color E Ink eBook Reader in the world. It’s also the only one that promotes the idea of “healthy reading" by using ambient light to produce color. The most important part of the DoD project was to customize the security features making the unit completely impenetrable by third party access and applications. By eliminating the WiFi option, microphone, and a few other features, the device becomes solely accessible by the user only. An additional partition was added as a security measure that disallows the transfer of any documents on the jetBook Color to any other device - meaning that anything on the unit cannot be taken off the unit unless deleted. This ensures that confidential documents stay in their rightful place. The features added were based on special request as the iPad and other Android devices were not capable of providing such safety measures.

The Department of Defense has a reputation of being at the forefront of safety and security. By using the jetBook Color in their divisions they'll continue the trend. Instead of lugging important paper documents, personnel can be equipped with units weighing just 1 pound and capable of storing every document needed – securely. Users will also have the ability of using the jetBook Color as a notebook where they can freely write on the screen using a supplied stylus that fits into the device. This methodology eliminates the loss of vital notes and paperwork.

"With the products we developed specifically for the Department of Defense in the past, it was inevitable to introduce our newest jetBook Color", states David Lubinitsky, CEO, Ectaco, Inc. "The added security features make this the only device safe and protected enough to be used by the DoD."

Ectaco jetBook and jetBook Lite
When I became interested in buying an ebook reader, the first thing I discovered was that there are a mountain of choices out there, and which one was best for me was not immediately clear. Ectaco jetBook, Kindle, SONY and most recently the Apple iPad, among others, all offer excellent digital readers with varying feature sets, costing from around $150 to over $1000. With that kind of price range, there just had to be some significant differences between them. I finally settled on the jetBook, and here’s why; what I wanted to do, primarily, was read books. And, if possible, listen to my digital music library while doing so.

Episode 622 – CES 2010 Part 1: Gaming Gadgets, ebooks, smartphones & set-top boxes (video, 24,5 Mb). At the Consumer Electronics Show in 2010, Darren and Shannon bring you their first impressions of the hottest gadgets to tickle their technolust. Stay tuned for gaming netbooks, open source set-top boxes, low-end and high-end ebook readers, hybrid gaming controllers / musical instruments and Linux lovin’ smartphones.

CES 2010: 14 second with jetBook
Okay, I tried to spend some time with each of the hot eReaders at CES, but there were plenty of others on display, more than I could possibly spend time with. So I decided to pick one other to check out and the one that caught my eye was the jetBook. Unfortunately, I had burnt up too much camera battery before getting to them, so I only got 14 seconds for a back and front view and pricing. I feel bad about that, but I was impressed by their angle in the eReader game, aiming for affordability and simple operation. While everyone else is duking it out in the high end of the market with fancier hardware, stuffing in as many features as they can, these guys are trying to make the eReader for everyone else.

CES 2010: E-Readers Galore
As suspected, electronic book readers are a hot item at the show, with plenty of models within the dedicated ebook section, as well as more spread throughout the show floor. The jetBook lite is a standard-sized ebook reader that's powered by two AA batteries. Which adds a little bulk on the back, but still affords easy gripping. It comes wit 100 MB of memory built-in, but can accept memory cards up to 32 GB in capacity. It's coolest feature is a subtle one: a small slider button on the left side that you simply push down on with your thumb to flip to the next page. Another cool function: it has a built-in accelerometer so that you can view text in widescreen mode as well if preferred.

ECTACO Jetbook Review
In March of this year (2008) ECTACO released a new electronic book reading device, the Jetbook. Previously a company that produced electronic translation devices, ECTACO put that experience to good use to design and build their Jetbook. ECTACO took a different approach to the recent entries in the market which use the relatively new eInk screens. The Jetbook uses a reflexive LCD screen. The LCD screen, is similar to an LCD monitor or television but does not contain an internal back light. Instead it relies on ambient light reflected from the screen for its display. The screen looks similar to those you might see on a calculator or watch.
