With a little over one week to go, the leaks continue to come fast and furious. It’s not enough that we have leaked Palm Pre manuals; nope, now we have the leaked default ringtone.

As if that’s not enough (insert some degree of sarcasm here), there’s also some information on the composer that’s been leaked.

The file is playable / downloadable below. There is a blog post at the composer’s web site outlining his role in the ringtones.

Bourland praised Palm for having the vision to commission “micro-compositions; not just phone emulations, or paid-for chunks of pre-existing songs.” Each ringtone is roughly 24 seconds long before it kicks into the message service.

Titles include “PRE”, “Flurry”, “Raindance”, “Scamper”, “Discreet”, “Triangle”, “Dulcimer”, and “Anticipation”.

Ironically, according to Bourland, the ringtones were composed using Apple’s LOGIC 8 software.
