Hi Ricardo, I'm finding VO to be *very sluggish. It seems like its speaking items a good half second after I initiate an action.
I also don't seem to be able to close apps any more. When I think I've closed an app, if I try and open it later, VO says "App x is running in the background." I presume one has to close apps from the launchpad now or something, but that seems much more cumbersome than just being able to press Cmd-Q. iTunes is *ungodly slow, honestly, it's as bad as being on a Windows machine. And you don't seem to be able to scroll down through your list of songs any more, though this may be part of the speed issue. Lastly, VO doesn't seem to track very well. For example, when I open an app, I'm taken to the desktop, and have to perform a Cmd-tab to actually get myself into the app. Lastly, I installed Samantha, but gave up on her. I'm now back with Victoria. Samantha was not indicating sentence endings at all. If there was a period, she just went right on reading with no pause or inflection, as though the period wasn't even there. As I've said, I was gone most of last night, so haven't had a ton of time to sort through things yet. But those are some of the things I'm not liking at the moment. As I think Zack said, hopefully there will be an update that will address some of these things.
