This website offers iPhone users the opportunity to create their own personalized ringtones with their iTunes playlist. Users can stop and start whichever song they choose from their playlist and apply it as their ringtone. Apple advertises “Infinite Possibilities,” saying that you can personalize your ringtones for each of your callers, or use them as an alarm. This site may be of interest to a journalist or researcher that wanted to know more about Apple products, or who were interested in the merging of technologies, i.e. the Mp3 player and the cell phone.
