blog.iphonehacks.com — The iPhone like most phones in the future will store your music albums, any song can be used as a ringtone. Why then would you want to pay $1.99 for a low-quality re-sampling of a song? My bet is you won't, similarly any photo from your photo albums stored on the iPhone can be used as wallpaper. So does it mean the death of paid ringtone services?

Apple may have something in store for the iTunes store. I think they may start selling ring tones on it, not the entire song, and MUCH cheaper then most cell-phone companies do. I mean, it would have to be cheaper then the entire song is to buy from them, so my guess would be a lot less then 99 cents. But I sure hope this doesn't happen although it seems inevitable. :/

If any song on your iPhone can be a ringtone, then the issue of selling ringtones is moot. I personally don't want to buy a tiny snippet of a song. I'm just going to use the whole song.Assigning songs to everybody in my address book using my existing iTunes library? That's awesome!

Absolutely, but only time will tell us if Apple is going to go for better user experience or additional revenues by not allowing users to use the songs as ringtones and rather sell tiny snippets for a tiny fee.
