There is a free software program now available that makes use of the trick to adding ringtones to the iPhone for free. MakeiPhoneRingtone is an application that can be used to simply add ringtones to your iPhone without unlocking or jailbreaking the iPhone. I believe that this will make it even easier for people to avoid paying for ringtones which they are likely to already own in their music collection.
I have always thought that it was absurd to pay for ringtones, but the longer the tradition of charging for ringtones goes on the more absurd it becomes. Please, I beg you, do not purchase ringtones unless you simply like to waste your money. There are plenty of free ways to get whatever you want on the iPhone.

Apple Will Offer $100 Apple Store Credit For iPhone Price Drop
This is good news for people that were so fanatic about the iPhone that they got it on the first day and now want their $200 back (like me for instance). Steve Jobs has said that Apple is likely to offer $100 in store credit to appease those that have paid $200 more than the current cost of the iPhone only two months earlier. The official announcement has not been made yet, but lets hope for the best. If Apple does in fact issue this offer to those that camped out for the iPhone then it is a prime example for why I recommend Apple products to everyone I know. If they do not, then well, I still love Apple.
What can I say, they have me hook, line, and sinker.

Goodbye 4GB iPhone Make Way For $400 8GB iPhone
So Apple makes me feel a little ripped off today by introducing the $200 price drop in the iPhone. This means that I have paid $400 to have mine and my wife's for two months. This is hard to swallow, but I love the iPhone so I guess that is what early adoptors get. Anyway, this is good news for everyone holding out for the iPhone to drop in price. I am surprised that they dropped the price soon and so much, but this is how it is. It seems like it will be very difficult to sell the iPod Touch at the $300 when you can get the iPhone for $100 more. The iPod classic seems like a much better fit for those that are looking or more of a simple iPod since it costs less than the iPod Touch and holds tens times as much on it.
Apple knows what they are doing, and they are gearing up for the holiday season. It is still hard to accept that the iPhone has been cut in price so drastically and with no effort to appease the people who have gone out on a limb for Apple. Its ok though, I will get over it by tomorrow.

Third Party Ringtone App for Apple iPhone
Some people may be a little anxious about hacking their $600 iPhone, but still want to be able to change things on their iPhone. This is why Third Party Applications for the Apple iPhone will start to pop up like this one, iToner.
It is a simple concept to be able to add your own ringtones on to your phone and especially such an expensive one, but Apple does not want people to modify their iPhones, at least not yet. That is why people have been forced to hack the iPhone and make it more customized for individual needs. This can cause issues with functionality and warranties. So iToner comes along and allows you to add your own ringtones to the iPhone without hacking it or jailbreaking it. This is a great idea since some people are very unlikely to get up the nerve to hack their iPhone, but I wish that the software did not come at a price. $15, but I guess it is worth it for someone that wants to have the ability to add their own ringtones to the iPhone safely.

Apple iPhone, is 8GB enough?
I have been on the road this weekend and putting full use to my iPhone. I loaded it up before I left, and I have not had a chance to load it up again. The 8GB storage seems to be a good amount as far as the music goes, but I only have two movies on here and that does not seem to be enough for a 5 day weekend. I will hopefully get to load it up again with my laptop, but I think that the iPhone should have come with at least a 20GB drive. That would have kept me going for quite a bit longer, but then again maybe I just need to prioritize what I sync to the phone.
Anyway, that is just some thoughts from the road. I will be back on Tuesday, and I hope to get one more post before then.
