Apple iPhone Interfaces and Ringtones

Friday January 19, 2007 12:49 pm PST by Arnold Kim
For the excited masses who are unable to wait for an iPhone, some individuals have been busy... to the ire of Apple Legal.

Infoworld reports that two skin makers for the Palm and the Pocket PC were sent cease and desist letters for posting iPhone-skins for their respective platforms.

For those who don't own a PDA, this paper cutout of the iPhone can keep you occupied until the June comes, and now, you can even pretend you are getting phone calls...

Gizmodo posted an MP3 of the iPhone ringer from the keynote address... but perhaps more impressive is Andy Neesley's transcription of the iPhone ring tone (midi audio):

That's hillarious! I can just see all the poseurs now, with their paper cut-out iPhones, making fake phone calls.

Reminds me of the early days of cell phones when I would see yuppies "talking" on brick-sized cells in areas with no coverage (subways,etc.) Look at me - I'm cool & important!

Hmmm...that tune is very Mexican. It's very reminiscent of a marimba: a Mexican sort of xylophone. Very catchy and distinctive. :cool:

Rhythm and notes sound correct but the actual sample tone is not.

Sad, yet hilarious.

Yeah, you're right. The voice on the MIDI is incorrect. Marimba is a staple, too... usually the standard voice 13 if I'm not mistaken.

I could not find the price for the cut out anywhere, anyone else see it? I'd love to play a joke on my co-workers.
