I'd buy the second generation one to be honest, since it's most likely
cheaper, and you're not losing out on any features, since all 1080P is is

Hi, guys,
Yes, I use the Alex voice for everything, so I don't think that's a factor in
my case. However, the question of more responsiveness after one press is
definitely a factor. I only notice the delay the first time I press the key

I believe that's normal behavior, since as someone pointed out before, the

first, which on some machines takes a while. I seriously don't think they'll

What needs to happen is for Apple to include basic scripts like this right
inside vo, so there is no loading going on. All screen readers have keys to
read time, date, and battery status, so vo should be no different. Instead of

1080P refers to the resolution of the video output. The 3rd gen box can
play 1080P which is a resolution of 1920x1080 dots. The 2nd gen box can
only play 720P which is a resolution of 1280x720. The current state of
