Quick post. In light of recent Nokia+Microsoft-MeeGo news, I have gone to learn more about Android in a hurry. And here is the first result - MorzeSMS.
Basically it is a tiny app that will play a morze code when you receive an SMS message. The morze code is the phone number of the sender in 'cut number' morze form (to be shorter). The idea is that first of all morze is a cool sound and second is that each sender gets a unique sound that you can learn to identify over time so that you know who sent you a message as soon as you hear the beep.
This is very early beta - there is no UI, no configuration. You can download it here. Leave bug reports in the comments of this blog post. It does not disable the stock SMS-received sound.

I've been searching for something like this for years -- how about having it also play out the text of the message?

What phone and what Android version did you try it with? Could you try re-downloading the file? I'll get around to posting the source somewhere soonish, so that you can try building it yourself if you wish to.
Link | ReplyPlaying out the number itself takes several seconds, playing out the message would take quite a while. that would get annoying really, really fast. Also the recognisability benefit is lost.

Apparently that was my fault - the caching server of my blog ran out of disk space and that made the downloads succeed, but only sent a part of the file to the client. So please try downloading the file again now, it should be 92641 bytes long.
