there are quite a few people out there who are ringtone fanatics (personally, I can't understand paying 3.99 for a 30 second song clip... </blockquote></span><div><br><div><span class="q"><br>I'm with you 100% here.

make their own ringtones for shareage would be great. Throw in the

places, but in the US the telco operators make a sizeable chunk of
change on ringtones, if this functionality is straight out of the box,
the chances that we're going to get picked up by a major operator just
hit nil (I'm having nightmare visions of crippled neos being offered)
maybe, for the good of the project, this should be developed outside of
the openmoko project... Once the phone gets picked up by operators,
then we can go big with this feature (yeah, I think it could be a
killer app for a phone as long as the interface to create a ringtone
rocks(joe and suzy consumer aren't going to want to deal with
frequency/duration data))<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Jeff<br>O|||||||O
