Hi Janet and Felix,
Hmm, maybe you could point your store manager to the MacWorld review
and podcast of the 4G Nano talking:

Seriously, I didn't expect our local Apple Store to have this set up
with speaking models. But then, I was only in there for about as long
as it took to find out whether they had the 4G nanos in stock, and
make the purchase, so I could go home and set this up <smile>,
Cheers,
Esther

We were a bit disappointed in our local Apple Store in our county
here. The store in San Francisco that we were in on Monday had the
Ipods syncked so they worked impressively! Reading all the menu
choices and song lists.
But our store, not a singe one had the voice synked up on it.
Worse, the employees didn't even know they had the voice
capability! And neither did the manager. Yes, I took this issue
all the way to the manager.
I told them all, I was very disappointed. And I reminded them that
just 12 miles north of their store or so was Guide Dogs for the
Blind. I told the manager, it's possible, that they might get a nice
big group of blind folks in here all at once! If GDB decides to
take a class to their mall for some work, and came into the Apple
store! And they'd better get on the ball and be ready!
heh heh. I had that guy's eyes big. It was kind of funny. But
hopefully, I irked them into getting those display models talking,
and their empoyees up to date on how to work the voice menus, so
they can help people.
And, how many other Apple stores don't have the voice syncked up in
their demos, and employees that cannot tell you how it works because
they don't even know it has the voice capability?
Just a heads up, you might have to educate them!
Felix did buy a 16 GB nano anyway, even though he didn't get to play
with them again first in the store.
best,
janet
