An EARCON is the sound your phone makes (PCs and do this too) when a particular event happens. There's the "Swooshing" sound when you get an email for instance.
• Question I: Have you set-up any unique EARCONS on your phone?
• Question II: Do you think mobile phone should have a different sound to the caller if your phone is busy?
• Question III: Would you like to set-up your phone so that if persons A, B, or C (your favorite people) call you and you're on your phone would you like them to hear something other than "beep ... beep .... beep" (means your phone is busy)?
• Question IV: Would you like your favorites to hear some other message on their phone when you're busy - like maybe a warble tone or a siren sound or something else which means "You're my favorite person, call me back right away"?
• Question V: What role do you think EARCONs play in applications?
• Question VI: Would you like the EARCON to tell you more information than things like "Yes you got your ordering basket loaded correctly" such as maybe "What a great section of --- product " etc.
• Question VII: What innovations would you like to see in EARCONS?
