Am I the only one who feels the ringtone deal is a BAD deal? Just to lay out the facts:
* $0.99 to buy a song on iTunes ($1.29 for DRM free I believe)
* $0.99 to "ringtone-ize" your song to get a clip that's up to 30 seconds
So let's see. An extra buck, the FULL price of a song, just to get a clip.. of a song you already paid for.
Nice one, Apple. Genius. I hope people refuse to go for this, and Apple eventually makes it free. On SEVERAL other cell phones, you can just connect to a computer and drag/drop your own MP3s and use them as ring tones. Why should we pay the song price all over again just to use it as a ring tone?
Oh well, I guess it's "marimba" for me for the time being.
And yes, I could just use the iPhone hacks out there, but I don't want to introduce anything "illegit" to my device.
