iTunes set to begin offering ringtones

According to both the LA Times and the New York Post, Apple seems on the verge of joining the ringtone market.

Both papers report that Apple is planning to let iPhone users purchase ringtones through the iTunes store, but only the Post reports that "iPhone users would also be able to make ringtones out of songs they've already purchased from the iTunes Store."



Both papers also report that the announcement will be held at Apple's special event on September 5th in which a long overdue unveilment of new iPods is expected.

More updates on both announcements after the event.

  Most phones sold today are fully capable of being hooked up to a computer so that you can load your own ringtones. Granted, there are a ton of people who have no clue that this can be done.
