Hi
They really need to fix the messages bug, the one where you can't rename 
iMessage conversations using voice over. That was a big deal at the keynote 
last year, and it still doesn't work? Somethings wrong with this picture. This 
bug still needs to be reported, even though I reported it so many times. I 
reported every time I call Apple.
