Droid SMS alert on the iPhone
Ryan has been quite taken by the Droid SMS alert sound (as evidenced by the most recent gdgt podcast) so I decided it would be fitting to make it his ringtone on my iPhone when he calls.
Unfortunately, I realized after the fact that it would have been much funnier to make it the default ringtone on his phone for all calls. You can get the sound here for your own personal enjoyment.
I used MakeiPhoneRingtone after converting the .wav to .aac, but you can also use Fission, GarageBand or the myriad other methods available.

Culture of the Apps
about 1 year ago - 9 comments
It’s no secret that iPhone applications are a breakout hit for Apple, even beyond their own expectations. Because of this, a culture of app fanatics is popping up online, which include a slew of new podcasts and video shows that cater to people looking for the best and brightest apps out there. Frankly, with all

Embedded video from CNN Video Despite losing my voice yesterday, I rallied for an appearance on CNN.com this morning with MG Siegler, Ben Parr and Mark McClusky. We spoke about the new iPhone 3G S and if now is a good time to upgrade, our favorite apps, and if Blackberry has a chance to win
The iPhone app organizer I would love to see
about 1 year ago - 33 comments
Back in September I blogged about how an app organizer would have been a nice (and logical) addition to iTunes. Gizmodo posted a concept video today showing how that functionality could be integrated into the existing iTunes design. I can’t find much more information about the creator of the video (YouTube user svdomer09) but I
How about a T-Mobile G1 Q&A?
about 1 year ago - 46 comments
I’ve had a couple of weeks to play with the new T-Mobile G1 running Google’s Android, and I have to say that I’ve really enjoyed it. I’m not going to write a full review here, because I think that’s been done quite thoroughly by others in the blogosphere (see Engadget’s full review, and Ryan’s impressions).
Apple in the handheld gaming world
about 1 year ago - 26 comments
I was listening to the gdgt roundtable this morning, and they started talking about the iPhone / iPod Touch as a gaming device. Josh Topolsky insisted that Apple was trying to drink Sony and Nintendo’s milkshakes, while Ryan said that Apple is just going for the “value add” of having games. This got me thinking
A little iPhone organization would be nice
about 1 year ago - 34 comments
I made a Friendfeed post a while ago about this, and then I realized that microblogging is sucking whatever ideas I have for blog posts right out of my head and turning them into one-sentence blips in the social-networking ether… Anyhow. The iPhone interface is intuitive. However, this does not mean that it’s practical, especially

Cool! Are you or Ryan getting a Droid of your own? Leo saw Natali’s and fell in love!

V,
What i’ve really been waiting for is a way to make sms tones for the iPhone… do you know if/when/how that can be done?

Chris, that’s an interesting question, and one I haven’t thought of before (although I’m surprised it didn’t come to mind when I was making the Droid SMS sound a ringtone and not a text message alert on the iPhone). I’ll look into it! Sounds like something you can probably do with an unlocked device.

To use it as a New Message tone, you need a jailbroken iPhone and a AIFF version of the file. Or download the already converted and renamed file: http://snipurl.com/t0b8s
In iTunes change the Import settings in Preferences to AIFF, add the droid sound to the iTunes library and right-click it, pick Convert to AIFF, drag the new AIFF file to the desktop, rename it to sms-received6.caf.
Connect to the iPhone via SCP and go to /System/Library/Audio/UISounds/. Rename the existing sms-received6.caf to sms-received6-org.caf, and upload the new droid sms-received6.caf. Go into Settings and Sounds, pick Electronic as the new SMS sound. Voila!

@Chris Heath:
I don’t know if you can do it with a vanilla iPhone but if you have a jailbroken one it’s a simple case of replacing your desired system sound with a sound of the same name.
SSH to their location here:
/System/Library/Audio/UISounds/
The messaging tones are under
/System/Library/Audio/UISounds/sms-received1.caf
through
/System/Library/Audio/UISounds/sms-received6.caf
and correspond to the sms sounds list in order (so sms-received1=tri-tone whilst sms-received6=Electronic)
(Pretty much same as what Torsten said,except you don’t need to fiddle with AIFF files – just rename the extension to .caf and it should work)
@Veronica
Come on girl, surely you should know the difference between an unlocked device and a jailbroken one

Hah, you’re right, I did mean jailbroken, of course. A beer on a late Sunday evening will do that to a girl once in a while

Did you jailbreak your iPhone, Veronica?

Hey Veronica – thanks so much for mentioning MakeiPhoneRingtone! I’ve been looking for an easy way to get my own ringtones on the iPhone for months, and every other way I’ve tried has failed miserably. But that cute little program works perfectly. Thanks!!

I do love my iPhone but the Droid and the promise of what further enhancements Google’s Android platform fill me with great desire!

Thank you Torsten for the converted file, I’m scp it right now

LOL.
Well said.

Veronica, doesn’t AT&T support some type of service that lets the caller hear a song or tone? For example T-mobile has CallerTunes(R).

You can setup so that a caller can hear a custom ring instead of the standard beeping before you answer your phone.
I think you should punish ( i mean “treat”) him to your droid tones.

No, my iPhone is not jailbroken. What leads you to think that? I gave pretty clear instructions on how to do this in the post.
