But, is that coming in with a contract?

Gosh, I have the 16 gig and that is like $699 before tax.  Why such a jump from 
99 to 6! 99.

      Not for the 8 gig devices.  The os takes about 1 or 2 gigs so now you 
have 6 gigs to work with and wiht apps and music on it you will not have any 
room for alex.


      Take care.

        Yeah I don't know about the processor, but I think an extra 200 mb 
would be pretty negligible considering the amount of storage available in i 
devices today.

          If I had the choice. I'd ditch the other voices in exchange for

            I think it has to do with the processor, and the fact that the Alex 
voice is absolutely huge!

            Having said that though, if they could fit all the other voices, 
then I agree, why couldn't they fit Alex.  I see why they didn't do it, 
although I agree their reasoning isn't very logical.

            Hi all, subject line says it all. Wouldn't mind this in the future 
but just thought I throw it out there why we don't have him on any of Apple's 
IOS devices.
            Can anyone come up with a logical reason because I can't. LOL
            So with that I'll open up the floor to you guys and listen and 
learn from your comments!

            Thanks
