Does anyone know of a good electronic Japanese language translator/dictionary?

My friend is being stationed in Japan and I am looking for a good pocket dictionary and also for an electronic translator that will be helpful. Any suggestions?
There is no particularly good translation software for Japanese, and for most east asian languages for that matter. For an electronic dictionary, there are a number of handheld types that I unfortunately cannot comment on. For the computer though, I find JWPce to be indispensable. You can attach multiple dictionary files and quickly search through them. Additionally, it makes it easy to find unknown kanji via various lookup techniques, and is a text editor to boot.
