Mobile reviewing - Revenant - 2011-06-17
Hi, I'm looking for a device that enables me to review Anki on the go.
Preferably it should also enable me to phone and listen to music.
I heard about the iPhone, but that's ridiculously expensive.
I have no knowledge about mobile phones these days, mine is black&white and you can... phone with it. and basic SMS.
I don't need any fancy-schmancy really.

As far as cheap goes. An iPod Touch or an Android phone does the trick. Anki on the Android doesn't cost 25$... (But doesn't help Damien out either.)
You can also look for a used iPod Touch or iPhone, as you don't need any recent model for Anki. A first generation device will do.

Ankidroid is surprisingly awesome. I wish I used mine more, but as I'm always adding new cards a day it's a bit tiring to connect the phone with the computer.

Is there a specific Phone (Android, I suppose is an OS? Do mobiles have OS'es?) to be recommended?
The iPod touch can play music and enable me to use Anki, but I can't use it as a mobile phone, right?
Which manufacturers offer such mobile phones, how can I get by without expensive contracs? Any experiences on that?

There are lots of useful applications for learning Japanese. Just having Anki, a dictionary, and desired media alone makes it worth it though. Now I don't actually have one myself, but everything Japanesey I can do with my Android phone works on an iPod Touch, so if I didn't have my phone I'd definitely get an iPod.

If you're not gonna use it much anyway you could get an older version, should be cheaper.
Otherwise http://recombu.com/news/what-is-android-and-what-is-an-android-phone_M12615.html
I don't know if I can recommend a specific phone, but HTC and Samsung makes some good quality ones for sure.

I Ｈａｖｅ no wireless internet so that my syncing costs money。

Thanks for the link, I now know about Android.
I can see that there is a lot of useful SmartPhones to be had, but
I'm a little scared by 24-month contracts still.
Need to think more about how I'd utilize all this mobile internet stuffs.

Actually what I would love would be something similar to an Ipod touch, but much less expensive and not from Apple. I would prefer a device that used something like Android.

Maybe a Samsung Galaxy Player?
