RNS:: HoHo is a universal MIDI files (ALARMS, SMARTPHONE RINGTONES) and mobile phone RINGTONES creator, editor, player & converter.

HoHo works with two kinds of music:

* mobile phone ringtones - music written as text that mobile phones can play

* Palm MIDI files - music written in a standard binary format for handheld use

HoHo can create, edit, and play music in any format. It can also perform conversion between all formats:

* ringtone <=> ringtone - convert text formats, e.g. from Nokia to Motorola

* ringtone <=> MIDI - convert music written as text to a MIDI file and vice-versa

* *.mid <=> MIDI - exchange MIDI files with your PC

MIDI files on Palm OS devices can be used in at least two ways:

* alarms - sounds used by applications like Date Book, Calendar, or Note Pad

* smartphone ringtones - sounds used for incoming calls and SMS messages on the Handspring Treo and Palm Tungsten W devices
