Is it possible to send text-messages on those rectangular, hand-held, multipurpose devices the kids are getting these days? I know they all have dictionaries, which is great, but they also have video games and some can even get TV. Those two things aren't such a problem because you need headphones to watch TV and a video game is obviously detected if you glance at the thing. But what about text messages? Today I was doing a game in groups and a couple of students who wouldn't normally be the type to get too involved in sentence-making seemed awfully interested in their 'dictionaries'. When I looked at one it was just a bunch of hanguel, which could well be a dictionary, but it looked like the student was intertested in something other than the sentence-making game. I'm wondering what it might be.

Any tech-heads know?

They can send messages, microwave rice, and sometimes control my mind, so I am forced to wear a shiny aluminium (gotta love that silly pronunciation) foil hat along with my shiny silver Korean suit.

It's probably one of the many games that can be downloaded to the thing. It's got an SD slot so there are all sorts of stuff that can go on there. Wi-fi though? Dunno about that. They'd have to connect to some internet site that allows text messaging as they wouldn't be paying for a separate line for texting like a phone or sidekick requires. Internet browsing on her 400,000 won dictionary? Maybe. An Ipod touch gets you there...

They can not send text messages but you should be warned that very often electronic dictionaries also have built in games that are silent.
