Don't want to pay for installing a ring tone for your iPhone? Do you already have the perfect iPhone ring tone but you just can't install it? iPhoneRingToneMaker is just the thing for you.

Just as the name says, the iPhoneRingToneMaker makes ringtones for your iPhone. Great googlymooglies, is it true? What does it do exactly? It installs any mp3 file format from your PC to your iPhone as a ring tone. It is also a ring tone manager so it can delete the ring tone just as easily. You can also use the mp3 file for your mp3 alarm clock.

The developers assure us that there is no risk in using the application as it does not mess with the iPhone's programming in any way. All it does is transfer music files from your PC to your ring tone library in your iPhone. There are no extra fees aside from the purchase of the application.

iPhoneRingToneMaker is available for US$ 9.95. Check out the read link after the jump to purchase.

The Apple iPhone finally launches on June 29, and while a lot of things have been said about the features that it will have, let's take this moment to look at the things that it won't have. Here's a list of newly-confirmed features that the iPhone will not have packed into its sleek and stylish case from gadget news site Gizmodo.

• Songs as Ringtones
• Games
• Any flash support
• Instant Messaging
• Picture messages (MMS)
• Video recording
• Voice recognition or voice dialing
• Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Streaming (A2DP)
• One-size-fits-all headset jack (May have to buy an adapter for certain headphones)

This list raises quite a few questions. Earlier this year, video game companies such as Namco and Electronic Arts have confirmed that they are in talks with Apple about putting their games on the iPhone. While it is possible that these deals fell through, it is also quite possible that game support - as well as other features - will be added to the phone via later updates.

 

If you haven't had enough iPhone news and details, then we've got some more for you. German Mac site, Macwelt, was able to squeeze in some more iPhone details from Apple. The details ranges from the technical aspects (such as, where would the OS be stored?) to the more shallow bits (could my iTunes songs be used as ringtones?). Well here are some of the bits we have found.

On the issue of where the OS is gonna be stored. The Macwelt article mentioned that the OS would be stored alongside your music, but fret not, because Apple says that it will just occupy one half of a gigabyte. So you still have 3.5 or 7.5 GB room for your pics and music.

Apple would also have the final word as to what software would be installed on the iPhone. Also, you will not be able to purchase some iTunes Store goodies directly from your iPhone. Probably, Apple and Cingular didn't see eye-to-eye about this issue.

Now, the mind bugging question still remains unanswered, "would I be able to use my iTunes song as a ringtone?" The answer my friend, is no. You cannot use them as you alarm clock tones as well. Aww...that's too bad. In the Macwelt interview, they also found out that Apple will not let users use VoIP on the iPhone.

The German site also squeezed this particular info about plugins. Apple says that there will be as many enabled plugins as possible and Flash and Java will be enabled.

Hmm, I don't know about you but I'm still pretty bummed about that iTunes-ringtone tidbit. To read the interview, click on the read-link below for a Google-translated version.

Warner has been working with Apple to create DVD-Audio discs that have pre-ripped iTunes files on them. The discs, much like Dualdiscs with DVD-A, will have videos and other extras on the same disc. They will play in all standard DVD-Audio players, as well as computers and normal DVD players. Some extras for the computer users could include videos, photos and ringtones.

Apple has a strict music protection system, and so far that system has been only used in the iTunes store. However, Apple will not be leasing the protection software to Warner. They will most likely pre-encode the tracks and allow Warner to put them on the discs.

This should be good news for all you people who really buy your music, but bad to all you people who want to rip the music into your own bitrate and lossless quality. A few titles will be release in October and the company will introduce it as a serious media source later in the year.
