According to the article found at
http://www.tuaw.com/
Mac OS 10 offers high quality multi-lingual voices,
There are going to be a whole lot of high quality voices, in a variety of 
languages, available for download in the next iteration of Apple's os. For me, 
the one possible sour note was the reference to Samantha and Tom as an 
improvement over Alex that we have now. I hope this will not mean that Apple 
will decide to retire Alex in favor of what are, for me at least, vastly 
inferior voices in Samantha and Tom. There will be other English voices, the 
ones we know on the IPhone. Indeed, it sounds like the voices that are coming 
to Lion are those we now have on the I-devices. Great for speakers of languages 
other than English. Great for folks who prefer a non-U.S. English reading 
voice. But a definite leap backwards if they can Alex in favor of what's on the 
IPhone now, even if they include the male voice.
