  • Apple starts selling iPhone ringtones through iTunes - new Ringtone tab in iTunes

    Apple is all about the iPhone today. The long-awaited ringtone-making service for our iPhones is finally here. Steve Jobs announced the new Ringtone tab in iTunes that would enable the user to create a custom ringtone (complete with fade-in and fade-out effects) from one of 500,000 compatible songs. The service will be piggy-backed onto a song purchase - which means that you will have to purchase a song at $0.99 and then create a custom ringtone for another $0.99. Here’s how it goes: Download/buy your song. ($0.99) Click the “Ringtone” tab in iTunes. Choose which portion of the song you want to hear on your iPhone’s ringer, add fading effects. Click “Buy” to upload to your iPhone with ease. ($0.99) Total cost for making a custom ringtone for your iPhone? $1.98 We’re not yet sure if ringtones can be created from previously purchased songs for $0.99, but we sure hope that’s the case. The new service should go live next week.

  • AOL offers customized mobile homepages

    ]Mobile web is the future, that’s a moot point at this, uh, point. So, it’s about time web purveyor AOL jumped on the wagon. The new AOL mobile homepages allows users to get their mobile page customized just the way they want - include hyperlinks, include images, optimize linked pages, include numbers, and set maximum characters per page. Will this convince us to sign up for AOL? Most definitely not, we like our web unfiltered and raw. But, AOL users will be happy to know that their mobile homepage just got a little easier optimized.
