Hi,
I'm definitely considering one as well. I went to an Apple store and
fell in love with it, and ever since, I've been dreaming of it. I even
dreamed about tweeting on the iPhone last night, and woke up thinking
I'd just grab my iPhone and check my tweets. But no such luck. It's

Hey Nick yeah I really really hope they will add the possibility to

certain voices of the languages I need.

Hi All,
I've downloaded a voice from seraproc. scottish heather for gigges,

Nic, all I can tell you is that you'll either switch or not. You'll
either learn to type on the iPhone or not. I hate to say it, but it
really is that simple. I have done more typing on my iPHone than I

Hi Anouk,
Yes, you can make yourself an Automator workflow to convert any text
documents to mp3 files on the Mac. The only tricky thing about using
regular text to speech to translate the documents is getting the voice
to speak at a faster rate. You can control this by putting a sequence

Hi Anne,
Congratulations on the new Paris store opening. I understand you
should be expecting a second store in Paris to open shortly. Anouk,
there are problems in finding good store locations, so the number of
