Yay! I'm very very glad to hear this wonderful news. A little bummed I don't have a fancy trackpad. I have heard some of the iPhone demos and gestures just sound so cool and fun. I guess I'll just put up with old tech. LOL I hope to get an iPhone in the future and will be happy to wait 'til then to try gestures. Unless my getting a new macbook happens first. But as this one is still fairly newish I'll wait. Who know by the time it comes time for me to get a new macbook they'll of come up with many more new and cool things. : smiley : Can't wait 'til SL comes out. I know it's not too far off but. It sounds so awesome. Am keen to hear any new voices. Have always liked the UK voices. The best thing would be a UK version of Alex, with the breths and all. I still think that's uber cool how Alex voice does that. Jenny
