Changing standard sound alert tones

[Txdogs]

Is there any app out there where one can change the standard alert tones for calendar alerts, new voice mail, and new mail alerts?

Calendar Alarm gives long and loud sounds

We made a loud and long alarm possible with an app called Calendar Alarm, now available in the app store. The alarm syncs with the default Calendar. There are 12 sounds to choose between and the sounds rings for 10 or 30 seconds. In the upcoming version (begin september 2010) we will also add a repeat/snooze.
App store name: Calendar Alarm
App store id: 367803799

Also don't forget to switch of the original Calendar ALert tone. You can do this as following: Go to the standard iPhone Settings, choose Sounds, scroll down to Calendar Alerts. The default is on , you just need to set the switch to off.

There's an app called MAILTONES that does alerts for email. It's in the iTunes store and costs $2.99. I need it for using my iPhone as a pager for work... it does a very reliable job.

It works by you forwarding a copy of the emails in question to their site - they receive them and send you a custom alert. Your email still comes to your iPhone apart from their process. It's kind of a kludge, but it's all that's possible, given Mr Jobs' obsession with controlling everything we do with our iPhones.
