The Register reports that Apple has pulled iRingTones, a proposed feature of iLife 06, after being pressured by network providers.
This is mixed news. On the one hand, it sounds like it would have been a cool feature. Plus anything to stick it to those avaricious, customer-unfriendly network providers is good in my book.
But on the other hand, it would have allowed people to create their own ringtones more easily. It's bad enough people downloading their own ringtones from providers already. At least they've been put together by people with an ounce of musical ability, if not taste. But people mixing their own tones? Oh dear God, no.
