Ringtone Hype (Dec 11 2003 17:29 GMT) - I've written before about the wireless carriers' current obsession with ringtones.

While it may be good money in the short run, I still don't see how it's sustainable. As mobile phone platforms are increasingly open and standardized, ringtones will go through the same Napsterization process, where many will be available for free. Meanwhile, I still don't understand what's wrong with the good, old-fashioned vibrate mode that doesn't bother anyone around you. |
