This could be a fun little application for a modern language classroom
Audiko
audiko is a simple service which helps you to make a ringtone of your favorite song!
Create kids speakings (eg verb drills, or vocabulary etc) and then transform them into ringtones. I won't go as far as saying all students would find this idea a cool addition to their mobile but it could definitely have its uses.

Obviously with a service such as this there are copyright issues and students should not be encouraged to use commercially available material to upload.
Upload an audio file, and it will take you to a wave form (see below) all you have to do is slide along the wave form and find the bit of the foem you want. Easy.

Click on create ringtone and it does what it says on the button. Here's one I prepared earlier using Yanick's 5x table rap. Once your ringtone has been created you can;
- download it to a computer
- download it to an iPhone
- copy a wap link into your mobile to download it directly
- or as I've done here embed it on your blog.
I'm not sure if there's a limit on the length of clip, but 30 secs is enough time to conjugate the verb "avoir" in the present tense.
The great thing about it is THERE IS NO SIGN UP SO NO IDENTITY PROBLEMS.
