Re: Lioncourt.com Review: Shake, Shuffle, and Roll

[Simon Cavendish]

When you connect your Nano to the computer and Itunes launchees and  
your Nano is visible in the device section, you tab to settings scroll  
area and interact, There you have to cheque under the summary tab  
"enable spoken menus" cheque box and then press sync button at the  
end. This will then enable those menus so when you start using yor  
nano for the first time after syncing you wil hear your menus spoken.  
But first of all, when take your out of the box, and switch it on,  
make sure you get assistance choosing your language. That's my  
experience. It's brilliant! Simon 19 Sep 2008, at 05:41, Babcock,

Hi

Well that makes a great promotional, but could someone write about  
how well it actually works?  What we can expect when we purchase  
it, bugs, purks, of course it talks but what else is there to know  
about it.

I have been wanting to try one of these things out for a while now  
but can't seem to figure out how as you have to set it up through  
your itunes library and you won't find any such unit at an apple  
store.

One interesting thing I did notice about the nano is that if it is  
playing music and you start to move through the menus, the music  
volume gets cut in half, presumably so that speech may be heard.   
Pretty cool, but again, no experience actually using the speech.
