[QUOTE="Kash, post: 501111, member: 23444"] The unlocking thing has to do with contractual obligations to AT&T. The ringtones thing has to do with the music labels. Apple was originally intending to let you use its ringtone software for free, you just had to buy the song from the iTunes Music Store. So you would have essentially only paid $1.00 for a ringtone, which is a great deal. However, the labels got words of this and came down hard on Apple. So that's why Apple is keeping you from saving that extra dollar. Apple may have significant leverage with AT&T and the labels, but not THAT much leverage. And you don't have to give yourself a headache. Just downgrade to 1.02 and then you can create and transfer ringtones for free. You don't HAVE to upgrade to 1.1.1. I didn't, and I'm enjoying my own custom made ringtones and third-party apps. [/QUOTE]
