I used the Italian lessons with my iPhone. The install was very easy, drag the CD into iTunes for import, then sync with the iPhone and you'll see the content under "Audiobooks".

I have used other language learning products before, and the biggest problem I had was that I'm a visual learner and I need to see the words written down to learn more effectively. With the other products, you have to take your iPod or iPhone *and* the text binder with you everywhere which is inconvenient.

With this new product, you see the words first in english and then in the language of choice written in a big font on the iPhone screen, while the native speaker recites the word which is a great audio-visual interaction.

I was looking for something like this for some time, and I'm really glad to see it in the market. I was also surprised with the amount of content, which is a good value. In addition to the 40 lessons, there are 5 specific lessons on verbs, another 5 on nouns and another 5 on adjectives.

If your iPod is a more recent model, this device works fine. It's easy and fun to use for a rudimentary knowledge of the language, and while a more in depth approach is required for a more sophisticated understanding, this is an easy way to get enough comprehension for the casual tourist.
