Apple to sell iPhone ringtones through iTunes?
The recent launching of the Apple iPhone has got the industry talking about the ringtones market. Apparently, Apple also wants to join in the fray:
Jobs wowed the applauding Macworld Expo crowd when he showed them how to navigate iTunes content using a finger on the touchscreen. The report also shows the device can be used to scroll through collections by using the first letter of the artist’s name; ‘Letter scrolling’, the report calls it.
Finally — and perhaps most impressive — the report also looks at ringtones, speculating that Apple will sell ringtones for the iPhone through the iTunes Store.
Supporting this proposition, the report looks at a photo of the sync interface for the iPhone, which clearly shows a ‘Ringtone’ tab.
Here’s the video showing the Ringtones tab:
That’s an almost $1 Billion industry there.
