Subject:Wants electronic dictionary recommendations

Hello,
Could anyone offer any advice or recommendations on choosing an  
Arabic <> English bilingual electronic dictionary (a handheld device,  
not a Web site)? I have no trouble finding the devices on commercial  
Web sites, but I would like to know what devices are considered best  
by professionals. Any specific recommendations you could offer or  
sources where I might find noncommercial reviews or recommendations  
would be much appreciated.

I've seen one advertised called, Al-Mawrid Talking Dictionary  
BAS-1875, which is described on one commercial Web site as: "the  
official authorized Arabic/English dictionary in the United Nations,  
and is aimed at Arabic speakers who wish to communicate in the  
English language." Is it also a good one for English speakers  
learning Arabic?
