   When will the windows version of co-pilot live 8 be updated to include:

   * a qwerty keyboard
   * live services such as traffic (Tom Tom’s HD Traffic is really good)
   * other user recommended updates

   ?

   P.S. What is this “There is a text-to-speech add-on”? Where do I find it?

   Sounds like BS to me, we’ve been getting that for months from ALK, promises promises. Theres no text to speech in Copilot Central, in fact theres nothing in Copilot Central, except a bunch of maps………..that no body needs. Still no QWERTY keyboard for WinMo and still no live Traffic for the UK !!!!

   As useful as that post is Christian i think we’ve all managed to sucessfully install the latest version of CoPilot Central.

   You fail to answer the question of how do we purchase Text-to-speech?
   Or even if this is available for windows mobile users

     Text-to-speech should be available via Central 2 very soon.
