Hi. $100? Maybe. $300? Definitely not! I don't support companies that think they're products including apps, need to cost an arm and both legs if I can help it. Thats why I moved to the iPhone. I got tired of paying as stupid amount of money [Talks] to make my phone speak and also why I'm writing this on a Mac that I didn't have to pay $100000 to make speak over it's life time [Jaws for Winblows]. Sorry to the Jaws users that I may have insulted.
