Text-scanning gadget knows more about what you're reading
Ever get that feeling when you read that you're missing something? Meet the the Dixau from Korean company Unichal: this text-scanning gadget agrees with you 100%. That's why it'll read along, scanning words with a camera and displaying them back to your on your PC, but with information supplemented by Wikipedia and Google searches, as well as any dictionary you add to it.
It's only $90, though no solid word on whether or not it works with English. It appears to be scanning English in the picture above but, since it's made for the Korean market, that may just be a promo pic.
Almost sounds like a killer idea for an iPhone app, eh?
