Wanna get out of a meeting? Send yourself a fake phone call on your iPhone. 
A new app on the AppStore is selling for 0.99 lets you do just that. Set a person, time, and away you go. This sweet little app gives you about a hundred uses, but more importantly, makes you the life of the party. Isn’t that the reason you bought your iPhone in the first place? Be honest! It was for me.
Quick aside: The appliation doesn’t actually make a phone call, so you won’t be charged those ridiculously high daytime usage charges.

The program has its own ring tone, and you can't change it in settings. So after awhile, everybody in the world will recognize that ring tone (a mandolin strum) as the “fake call” ring. How stupid is that? Or…. is there some way to over-ride that I'm too stupid to figure out how to configure?

Hopefully they'll address that issue. Although, I'm not to sure how many people will remember what the fake ringtone sounds like. I'd recommend keeping the usage to a minimum. Also, you can assign ringtones to certain people, so, theoretically the mandolin ringtone could be assigned to say… you're mom. Exercise caution. ;)
