Pocket PC Phone Edition fun
I have been using TextAloud MP3 from NextUp.com for a while. The application reads any text and samples it into voice reading, using any of the installed voices. A great use of this is copying and pasting an article I don't have time to read, sampling it into an MP3 or WAV file and then listening to it while driving home from work.
Now, I have found another fun way of using it! My Pocket PC Phone Edition can play WAV files. So, anything I type and convert into sound can be used aa a ring tone or a sound signal for events like new mail, new SMS, ActiveSync connecting and so on! These are two samples I just copied over to my Pocket PC Phone Edition: "There is someone calling! Please, pick it up!" and "Pocket PC Phone Edition is now connected!". Fun!

Hmmm... :?: I've listen to it 5 times more and :idea: it is :idea: Michael Jackson. Now I wonder if he is real anyhow, no - I don't mean his face/body, this isn't real but at least I thought the voice was real...
Andy, please can you also sample "I love you all", just to verify it!? :wink:

Two words pop into my mind : GEEK POWER ! :rock on dude!:
Okay, okay, actually I'm kinda jealous that my T68i can't do this 
(Although I can let it walk around the table when someone rings)

Okay, now I know for sure. Michael Jackson isn't real and I have two thoughts now:
1st: MJ is a complete computer animation?
2nd: Andy is MJ?
For Andy's bank account I hope he is MJ... :lol: :lol: :lol:
