Hi Carol,

Please forgive my questions that most probably have already been answered, I'm 
a newbee to the Ipod touch.... for a few days now and loving it!
Firstly, how can I change the voice to the Aussie or South African accent?
Also, how do I activate Siri on it?

thanks,


Scott

  You'll be able to upgrade IOS via "The Cloud" so won't need your computer for 
that task.  You also can backup that way, though not music as yet, which is 
really annoying.

  You don't absolutely have to use the male voice (though I like him 
personally) but could opt for the lesser quality American or Australian voices 
if you wished, and of course can alter these on the fly if you choose.

  I must admit, whilst I struggle with Siri in accuracy when dictating, I do 
like to be able to choose a song.

  I also like my incoming male and messages read out as in the Notification 
Centre.

  To be honest, I think it's worth upgrading, or you could find some apps don't 
work any more.
