Hi All,
I've been a Japanese student for 5 years, and having never lived in Japan I appreciate how difficult it is to learn a language outside of the country. I've been writing a suite of 3 iPhone applications to help serious students improve and maintain their skills based on my own experience. I've just released a new application called 'Hands-Free Sensei' that allows you to drill new vocabulary in the car hands-free while you're driving (or indeed hiking, walking the dog, etc.). I've been using it in the car recently and have been finding it VERY useful for learning new vocabulary during what is normally wasted learning time. Please check it out here...

There's a free version too if you want to try-before-you-buy. This application also works in conjunction with my dictionary/flashcard application Japanese My Way so you can add words to your study list straight from the dictionary and then jump in the car and fire-up Hands-Free Sensei to practice them on the go.
Best of luck with your studies everyone!
