Black Friday Apple Deals Internationally

By Ricky Buchanan • November 26, 2008

Apple doesn’t often hold sales, but they seem to have gone out of their way to advertise an international one-day sale for this Friday. Known in the USA as “Black Friday”, the Friday after American Thanksgiving is known for having sales with huge discounts. This is an image of the email I received from Apple Australia:

I’ve seen people reporting similar emails from the USA, Canadian, and NZ Apple stores, as well as the Australian one. I suspect other countries will be in on the deal too - let me know if you’ve got one! You could also check your local online Apple store to see if they are advertising the sale - that link should take you to your local store automatically.

MacRumours is reporting that Apple retail stores will be able to match the prices of non-Apple retailers this Friday, which may mean big discounts on Apple products.

Amazon.com are also advertising great Black Friday bargains which I expect to include third party computer and electronics gears, as well as all the usual Amazon.com goodies.

If you’re planning to buy, you may want to check MacWorld’s iPod Buying Guide and Mac Buying Guide to make sure you get the right product.

Text-to-Speech in Languages other than English

OS X only offers US English text-to-speech voices, and they are not of a very high quality. Leopard’s “Alex” voice is a great improvement, but even that voice is jarring and mechanical to listen to for more than a few minutes and only offers American English. So what are your alternatives for text to speech?
