Well, you'd better get some of those programs, DVDs, or AudioCassettes, 
out there.

The male and female mexican voices were probably those of californian 
Apple employees.
They pronounce the english words used in mexican spanish as no mexican 
would be able to.
For instance the words beginning with S + consonant (a mexican would 
pronounce ES, not S).
So it's likely to be US mexican rather than mexican spanish.

Besides, the mexican spanish sounds a little special, not only to 
european but also to other latin american spanish speakers.
