Interesting Japanese Resources - Kanji Flashcards

Before you notice - yes, these are in Chinese. I just liked the picture :-)

For those who study best with flashcards - there is a really nice little Java kanji applet by Asahi called Asahi Kanji:

It is all but positives, starting from the fact that it's 100% free, and ending at the usefulness of the example words (if only I could get a pound every time I saw a completely unpractical examples for kanji words out there...). Although not the best actual 'study' tool, it enables you to revise/drill the kanji you already know in many ways. More to that - it covers all new levels of JLPT and all the jouyou kanji, making it a nice (and guilt-free) companion during the JLPT preparation panic.

For the iPhone (and iPod Touch, for that matter) users - there is the Asahi Kanji iPhone application, which seems like a lot of fun and is a nice drilling tool before a JLPT exam. I don't see the Android version anywhere, which is a pity - even I could imagine myself playing with it while bored in a bus or a tube (for non-Londoners: the underground). :-)
