RingtonesIf you’re really really dissatisfied with the crop of ringtones available on the iPhone—what, no chance of grooving to “Baby Got Back”?—next you may be a prime candidate for a controversial new procedure that will let you add your own ringtones.

Concocted by hackers from the #iphone-dev IRC channel, that twenty three step process requires a fair amount of Terminal know how and willingness to risk bricking your iPhone (they claim that nobody has done anything that iTunes’s Restore feature couldn’t fix, but there may be a danger). But when you’re done, you’ll finally be able




to use that original Star Trek communicator noise to let all and sundry see that you have the most advanced communication device known to man.

There are additionally directions for replacing some of the other system sounds on the phone, whether you wish to delve into even deeper realms. I’m hoping we’ll see a GUI interface for that process in the not too distant future or, even better, an officially sanctioned word from Apple on what the heck is up with custom ringtones.
