If you get a good quality pair of headphones you'll get excellent sound from the Touch and volume to go with it, as for the voices, the English ones are female but you can change the rate of speech which might help and the Australian English one is quite a bit lower in timbre than the UK English voice, so that might suit better. Of course I realise how much these things are suggestive and one can't say a lot that is constructive when one doesn't row the same boat as someone else. Only the Touch is so versatile and fun that you want everyone to share in with you and, as with anything it's a shame to just dismiss it without taking the opportunity to have a good play with it. Yes, it can be frustrating at times, but it feels so good when you get where you want to be that you forget all about it quite quickly And no, I do not own any shares in the Apple business, I swear! just can't stop praising a company which makes their product accessible for us VIPs straight out of the box.

What will people say when Apple have killed off all the competition and there is no choice out there?
