I wonder about those figures.
A ringtone can cost what, £3.50 or somethign stupid like that? Often made up of the chorus from a current song.
A song that I can buy as a single for £2 perhaps.
More and more phones are Bluetooth enabled these days and starting to play MP3's, and more computers are as well (and it doesn't take much to plug in a USB Bluetooth adaptor).
So rather than paying some ridiculous amount of money for each ringtone, people like myself with Bluetooth phone and computers can just transfer MP3's from computer to phone, £3.50 bypassed.....
How come iTunes and the like manage to charge 99p per song, while ringtone sellers manage to be so much more overpriced.....
