Most people love ringtones. Some phones limit what you can use as a ringtone (we're looking at you, iPhone) but not Android devices. On the Android device you can make just about any sound file or song into a ringtone. You can
create a custom Android ringtone
from just about any audio file you have on yourAndroid phone
or your computer.Download this episode now

- Tap at the very top of the screen and drag your finger down.
- You'll pull down a list of different options.
- Tap where it says USB Connected.

Thanks, Carl. I love the Droid and there are things I like about it more than the iPhone. At heart I'm still a BlackBerry guy, but in doing tutorials I've made the rounds of devices - BlackBerry, iPhone, Droid, Windows Mobile.
The Droid has a beautiful screen. I love that I can create folders to put programs in rather than have page after page of applications. I've found Android applications that do everything that similar applications I used on the iPhone do.
The Droid is very responsive, the browsing is great, and scrolling Web pages is crazy fast. Out of the box it has built-in Google navigation and it's *really* good. I can say "Take me to Sam Ash Music" and it brings up the navigation and all I have to do is tap "Go". Turn by turn and very slick.
It's very intuitive and easy-to-use and I always like that in devices or software because that's good for average users. It has an amazing array of features that I just haven't found in ANY other smartphone. Period. So, do I like the Droid? YES, very much!
..... Doc
