Who said the existence of a language barrier would last forever. Well I can tell you that the designer of T-Mate sure did not have that attitude when creating this ultra cool and very usable device. The T-Mate is a headset that will not play your favorite Mp3's but it will translate the language you are trying to understand. Not only can it translate the words you say but it was also designed with a built in camera equipped for reading letters and signs and all other forms of data you just wish you could pronounce and understand correctly, and thanks to the T-Mate now you can. Did you ever think you could have your very own personal interpreter? Time to book those tickets to Paris, just make sure you take your gadget with you. Surprise a loved one that's spending their summer in another country with these, I bet you'll feel a lot more comfortable letting them walk the streets without you there since the T-Mate can probably translate much better than you can.
