One application that I always look for in a mobile device is a multilingual dictionary. If one is not available, I can make do with support for multiple input methods (such as through SCIM), access to the internet, and a decent web browser (one that handles non-Latin fonts and right-to-left scripts).
I often end up using a program called Yudit, a Unicode editor written by Gáspár Sinai, even on a system that has native integrated support for multiple input methods, because it’s available on a wide range of systems and I’m familiar with the input methods bundled with it. For example, even though the same input method is supposedly available on both Microsoft Windows and through SCIM, there may be slight differences in the keyboard layouts that can result in typos if one is not careful.
It seems that the majority of wireless handheld devices ship with only one input method. Yudit does not appear to run on any of the major mobile operating systems… » [Expand post] [Permalink]
