I noticed when I use voice command to tune into a radio station, like for example, z953, the voice would say "You are tuned to..." and then the robotic voice that sounds like the ABC toy machine I used when I was in preschool... any way of fixing that? sounds hilarious...

If it makes you feel any better the female's voice also sound similarly robotic. I think it's because of the Text to Speech conversion. The other phrases are pre-recorded as normal human beings, where as the variables i.e. station names, address book names etc need to be generated by the onboard computer. We'll need to wait a while until technology can fix that. Next you'll ask for your friends name to be announced in the correct ascent too.
