    Today in contacts I can specify a ring tone for a particular contact.  I would assume one purpose of having different ring tones for contacts is to notify us if a particular person is trying to reach us.  At work and at home I communicate much more than just by the calling someone.  It would be great to not only have a the ability to assign different ring tone for each contact, but also an email tone or sms tone.  Or be notified be a distinctive tone no matter how a contact communicates with me; ring, email, or sms.

    A practical example of this is at work.  I get e-mail alerts which plays an alert which I set up in sounds and notifications.  However it plays the same notification for every email.  If my boss contacts me I want to make sure I respond to it immediately rather than waiting to when I can get to it.  Or if I receive email alerts from MOM I want to respond to those immediately.

    The same could be said about SMS messages.  Set silence or vibrate to all SMS messages, but when your child texts you receive an audible alert set.

    Only relying on ring tones to audibly notify someone seems dated.

    Thanks for your time.

    You might want to check out MortRings .  MortRings allows you set a different tone for SMS messages based on sender or text, but as far as I can tell the software does not do the same for email.
