Language asisstant or mini computer

I think we need to be specific about the 学习机 here since it is something of strong Chinese characteristics. Several years ago the 学习机 popular in China is actually a kind of game console or mini computer, on which you can play different 'educational' programs as well as normal Nintendo or Sega games. Many families that couldn't afford a real computer would buy it as a substitute. But nowadays, with the booming of affordable economic computers, this kind of learning machine is almost on extinction.
Another kind of learning machine is solely made for English learning. It's more like a PDA and would usually incorporate the functions of electronic dictionaries, language repeating, organizer, simple games, etc. There are many similar products of different brands and different strengths in the market now. But all in all, I think they can be categorized as language assistant.
