Ok, Chris and Mario, let’s be logical here. That idea will not work. But let’s 
play devil’s advocate for a minute. Let’s say that it did work. Let’s say that 
syncing Voiceover preferences to all Apple devices worked. That would mean that 
every voice from the Mac would have to be installed on the iPhone or whatever 
I-device the person has. And since the current I-devices right now don’t have 
big enough hard drives to hold all those voices, Apple would have to create 
brand new I-devices that are capable of storing those big voices. Now think 
about it for a second. Would you want to pay big bucks for an I-device, the 
same amount maybe that we paid for our Macs, just so you can sync all your 
Voiceover preferences that are on your Macs to those devices. I don’t think so. 
So it isn’t pheasable to have such a feature.
