So if you want, you'll have to use ringtones for now. Don't forget to reboot after installing new ringtones. As for launching at a certain time, consider setting up a cron job. I'm not sure if there are any apps yet that let you do that with an arbitrary script or program. Mavrik: I’m pretty sure the alarm will *not* read your entire library.

I have tried running it from SSH by issuing the command "./doshell" and it works perfectly by adding "pkill doshell" at the end. But it fails to work with the Springboard icon. It gave me a blank screen like the "Light" utility and then close by the "pkill" command and will stay forever without the "pkill".. any idea what's wrong ?

When I start the application, it starts something like the Light application and do nothing at all. It seems the same even if I run the doShell as it downloaded without changing anything. Have I missed anything ? Thanks again for your patient. btw, the new app showPic works great and now I can view my snapshots on my touch... Peter Hi Erica

I was trying to run your application doShell but it seems not working on my case. When I start the application, it starts something like the Light application and do nothing at all. It seems the same even if I run the doShell as it downloaded without changing anything. Have I missed anything ?

Thanks again for your patient. btw, the new app showPic works great and now I can view my snapshots on my touch…

Basically every time you press a key the phone vibrates. The feature is found in the new LG Viewty, and i think it would be awesome! They (C|Net) say it feels like you're actually pressing a key on a regular keyboard (kind of). I have an idea for an application for the iphone:
