No, Sarah, that's only if you get it with a 2 year agreement.  I know exactly 
what you're talking about.

If you go through Apple directly, it's $6.99 for the 16, $799 for the 32, and 
$899 for the 64.

If you'd like, I can try to see where on Apple's site it states this.

I'm gonna be pretty busy today, but I'll look for that as soon as I can.

Chris.

  Huh? No the 17 gig is 199, the 32  is 299 and the 63 is 399. Why your price 
jump is so high is beyond me. 


  btw the 64 gig was for the 4s only, for now anyways probably.



  Take care.

    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.

        Do they still sell 8 g devices? Seriously?

          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 
having Alex on my iphone.

                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
