I love to seed forum's with ideas and watch what happens. Nearly every idea I have posted has come to fruition in some form. (actually still waiting on creation of mp3 player that allows bookmarking)

So how about this... Developers, are you li$tening?
This should be real simple now, and I've got $50 to the first to do it. I've given several donations to many of you so some of you know I'm good for it. Your mission if you choose to accept -

Record the call tone (that the caller hears while waiting for you to pickup) and use it to playback immediately upon answer.
Have phone auto-answer in mute.
Have option to turn off this feature.
Ideally, have option to forward call to voicemail using a script to do a three way calling to the voicemail.... or ultimately have it auto-record directly to the phone.
