Super Alternative, leider nicht ICS kompatibel Bis vor 2 Monaten war ich noch begeistert, jetzt ist "Petra" leider unbrauchbar. Unter Android 4.0 werden während den Ansagen von Google Maps Navigation seltsame XML Strings mit vorgelesen. Seit 2 Monaten kein Update für ICS und der Support antwortet nicht auf Anfragen.

It is a shame that the SVOX line/series of tts hasn't had more success. When used correctly they're GR8! :-) ! HTC Evo
