Nothing is as accessible as iTunes in my opinion. It is the best in terms of accessibility and is even better with the release of iTunes 11. Is there anythig we can do to convince you to stay with iTunes? Christopher Hallsworth On 11/12/2012 01:52, trahern culver wrote: hey all please can so

Me too. My theory is that the script to speak the information has to be pulled from the hard drive and loaded into ram, then the voice used has to be looked for and loaded if it is not already being used. Does the script use a voice that vo is not using by default? If so, I have a script that uses

Hi Harry, Placing the Compass and Clock on the Home screen is entirely possible but separating the Timer and such out of the Clock is not. The Alarm, Stop-Watch and Timer are all built-in to the Clock app and thus cannot be pulled out. To move items out of the Utilities folder, double-tap and
