I know it's not really fair to make fun of poor English translations on products not intended for the English-speaking market (especially when it's not like I could write suitable product descriptions in Korean myself, for instance), but when it's a dictionary being offered, well, it's just too funny for me to resist:

The electronic dictionary of Atree UM10 offers to more than gatherings the eye, comprising a posting 480 X 272 which makes well to present its English/Korean glory entirely as well as word 100.000 of dictionary of the documents of Office of reading and photographs to show. The force of UM10 is in the playback of media while it of the formats supports MPEG 4, WMV, MP3, WMA, and OGG file. The inclusion of a tuner of DMB makes the business whole all softer than you become to look at Numerical emissions of TV where than you go. There are no word on evaluating or availability, but the UM10 comes in savours 2GB and 4GB. Not to corrode about missing space since you can always throw a chart of the microSD 2GB in ravelled material.

I think I would prefer the 4GB savour, myself. And you can watch (Korean) TV on it! What more could you want in a dictionary?

More (and more comprehensible) information is here. Sadly, it doesn't look as if you'll be able to buy this stateside (except that *I* live near a Korean business district in Chicago, so I will be on the lookout ...)

Thanks to Robert Amsler for the link!
