It's just a tech toy with no use for translators.
Do be ashamed of being behind on technology.

There are plenty of decent dictionaries for iPad/iPhone (Oxford, Duden, SlovoEd, American Heritage, Longman, MW, Roget's Thesaurus). Most are reasonably priced ($10-$50) and offer regular updates free of charge. You can also use an iPad for quick Google lookups or to keep an eye on your email (this eliminates the need of having the browser window or a mail application open in the background).
