I was just pondering about kindle secrets for when my new baby will arrive (hopefully soon, amazon!) and found an interesting article by the NYT. Turn's out, the T2S feature on the K2 cannot correctly pronounce the presidents name. It was brought to the attention of Bezos at the last press conference, and the next day the company who runs the T2S corrected the pronunciation.
I'm pretty sure that the company only corrected the pronunciation because it's our President, and the problem may had the ability to become a slight disadvantage to the newfangled DX!
I can imagine that the T2S feature is really rough, since it is a computerized voice. I can't stand to listen to it, and would probably be to distracted while actually trying to listen to it.
