Well, don't know about the improved print handling (I use an NEC LC890
Pageprinter, and am very satisfyed with it), but the improved speech handling
is in there...
 
The new narrator.device is alot better...it's alot bigger also.  It comes on
the release version, or, the most current version of AmigaDOS 2.0...it'll even
work under 1.3 :')
 
The outline fonts will come in a later revision of 2.0...remember the machine
reviewed in BYTE?  It had the prototype 50megger from Quantum, but the first
A3000s had the standard 40meg...well, now they're coming with the 50Mb unit. 
Same will happen with the OS, although that'll be easier for those who've
already purchased A3000s to upgrade to.  
 
Remember, trying to base any kind of decision, or form any oppinion about
AmigaDOS 2.0 right now isn't very smart.  Until a unit comes with the new
ROMs, nobody knows WHAT is going to eventually be in the "official" version of
2.0.
