What, in the name of sanity, has this thread now got to do with Alex? Nothing.
Either Alex will be on the iPhone 5 or not. Yet another example of where a
thread turns in to something that has questionable place as an e-mail thread.
Better for live chat instead.

I kind of like her, I think I may try her over Daniel, sense I kind of like his
voice, but at the same time, he sounds a little too serious.

Ditto. Daniel sounds absolutely fine with me under the latest iOS but
can't help but excite the arrival of Alex in iOS 8. I use Alex for
VoiceOver under Os X and enhanced quality Daniel for the system voice.

However when Alex comes on iOS eight, he will be my preferred voice as I use
