IOS 5 beta 3 allowed to set any ringtone for SMS-messages

At the end of as many as four years since the release of the first iPhone model, Apple's smart phone users, finally got an opportunity to set the tone of the text message to your own preference. Such a small thing, but it can be considered a big breakthrough (sarcasm, since many years ago in the first personal smart phone, the Nokia 6670, this function was). This feature in the iPhone came along with another, the third beta version of iOS 5, which became available to developers a few days ago.

According to TechCrunchNow users can not only choose a melody for SMS-messages from the standard list of sounds, but also use their own.

The ability to change a text message signals in the iPhone has been up to this point only those who fearlessly carried dzheylreyka phone procedure. By the way, this function has become one of the first available to owners of jailbroken iPhone in the days of the very first aluminum model. Although the process was not the most comfortable: he had to replace the standard sounds SMS manually slipping system files with the same name as the originals.

On the other hand, the usual for so many years "native" sound on SMS alerts has become a kind of characteristic of iPhone brand. If in a public place could be heard very familiar melody of the "triad" or "glass" that many became clear that someone in the pocket hides the iPhone, and not some kind of "Nokia". Kind of advertising Apple, is not it? However, the lack of opportunity to choose for themselves the sound of a text message on your request also looks like something undignified, especially when it comes to iGadzhetov. Although the appearance of iOS 4.3 in more than a dozen new standard SMS sounds somewhat defuse the situation.

No less important is the fact that to choose any song you can now not only for SMS-messages, but also for all other such notification signals for voice and e-mail or reminders of calendar events (this is especially happy). Although this feature can hardly claim to be the main in iOS 5 beta 3, it is still important because it had to wait for four years.
