I also believe that audio is more effective, particularly when evaluated out of the context of use. No research or design experience to draw upon here, but in my home office, I use the audio alerts. At work, never... likely because I find other's use to be disruptive and distracting. The only way to cancel them out is with headphones, which tends to divide an otherwise collaborative workspace. Also, when I get a new phone or iPod, the first thing I do is to turn off all of the audio alerts. Mark
