From ringtones to Horntones

Horntones are a mobile audio system that allows you to personalize your car's horn function, using virtually any standard audio file and stores up to eight different honks at once. [via Gizmodo]

The implications are far reaching, as now car honking could be used not only to express your own personal preference in music, but as an activist tool, as occured in the Philippines in 2005, when a popular ringtone , the excerpt of a sound file of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's alleged "Hello Garci" conversation - where the president is allegedly talking with an election official - was turned into a car horn.
