[ltjbigshot]

is there any news as of when this update is to come out?

[Kyle Matthews]

"later this month"

[leykis101]

Just lost a bet that the iPhone wouldn't drop in price within three months! Now I owe my friend $120 Oh well guess I can buy one now for my wife!

[eg6motion]

im waiting for the new pc-vs-mac commercial...with pc asking if they are going to cut the price in a month on all new products...then fade away with a steve-jobs look alike stuffing wads of cash into his pocket and running away from a angry mob

[xplod4202]

I wonder how many people will actually pay for the song and ring tones????? I understand that this is a copy right issue but still $2 for the damn tone?

[Murfunit]

Ok, maybe I just don't get it

Or, maybe I'm too used to buying technology the minute it hits the shelf regardless of the price and then seeing it repriced 60-90 days later. I just consider the premium I pay the price of having the newest toys immediately. Every phone I've bought, from my ancient StarTac to the iPhone has come out at a premium and then had the prie reduced within a short period of time. Instant gratification is not without it's costs

As for ringtones costing $2.00... Haven't browsed the AT&T Store or Verizon's Get it Now too often have we? iTunes isn't too far off the mark here. And you're getting the entire song plus the ringtone for that $2.00. Something neither AT&T or Verizon can say.

Nothing's changed, so why the outrage? This site is proof that there are other, cheaper, even if a bit more complicated, methods of getting your ringtones

[wisecat74]

For lowering the price so soon, I agree, now every stupid ***** who had a razr now is going to get an iPhone.

AND...

F@*# Apple again with their ringtones, Audacity + iRingtoner = Free Ringtones + F*# Apple.

[cesc0415]

just got off the phone with one of the drones at apple customer relations after a 15 minute wait....apperently they have been flooded with hate calls about the price drop (reason for the 15 minute wait)....i left a "congratulations on your very bill gatesque move there stevie" "hope you know you've alienated your loyalest fans"
on the lighter side the drone spill the beans that theres rumors around apple that the bigwigs are already talking about something for the customers who purchased before the price drop... idont know if theres validity in what he said or if he was just blowing smoke up my *** so he wouldnt have to type anymore of my ranting.. either way take this with a grain of salt and dont hold your breath i think us apple geeks got screwed!!!!!!

[Murfunit]

The rumours were right

Letter from Steve jobs

[etrnlburn]

I purchased some songs for ringtones on iTunes, grudgingly, and can't see how to turn it into ringtone. I see no icons depicting ringtones. Can anyone help.
