Florida, USA (Sentinel): With the number of military interpreters dwindling in Iraq and Afghanistan, a new technology developed in Orlando might be the key to helping U.S. soldiers counter insurgents and communicate with locals. Dubbed the "Vcommunicator," the hand-held, iPod-based device is loaded with more Middle Eastern voice files than there are songs on a teenager's nano. It has megabytes full of mission programs -- vehicle checkpoints, interrogations, patrols and raids -- with scores of phrases for each one.
