Pissed About $2 Ringtones?

Well, if you compare with what other carriers are charging for a 30 second or shorter clip of a song, Apple's $2 is either right on par or even slightly lower. I know with Cingular (which AT&T has already screwed up, but that's for another post) musical ring tones were almost $3 and you had no control on what part of the song the ring tone used.

With the new ringtone service from Apple, you get to choose what part of the song is the ringtone.

If you were willing to cough up $3 for a ringtone before, you'll surely cough up $2 and have full control. Damn kids.

But if you're going to be stubborn about it, TUAW has a few ways to get ringtones on the cheap (or less).

UPDATE: TUAW also has a review of the actual iTunes functionality.
