Outloud! Audio Phrasebook

Mobilearn has just announced the release of their new language translation phrasebook for the Pocket PC. What makes this different from other text-based phrasebooks is that when you locate the desired phrase, your Pocket PC then reads the phrase to you aloud.
Available for translating English into four other languages, Outloud's key features are:
• Brings French, German, Italian, and Spanish to life through Pocket PC audio, color, and interactivity
• Organized the way you speak: in complete phrases rather than isolated words
• Groups phrases in natural categories for easy visual navigation
• Includes the 400+ parallel French, German, Italian, and/or Spanish expressions most useful to business travelers and tourists
• Displays English phrases by topic or alphabetically
• Quickly finds all the English entries that contain the words or characters you're searching for
• Instantly shows the written French, German, Italian, or Spanish translation of any chosen English phrase
• Speaks the translated phrase out loud in a clear native voice
Individual languages and a four-language version are available. The MP3-format files are pretty big (the four-language version requires 34 MB), but it could be just the thing for travelers.
I wonder if Mobilearn is planning an English-to-teenager version anytime soon?
