More iTunes for the iPhone

Here's a juicy iPhone update:

The New York Times has punlished that some multiple label executives have confirmed that Apple is looking to expand its iTunes ringtone collection by June. The number is said to be far more than was targeted in the past. Downloadable song snippets and ringback tones are included in Apple's list. However, the labels feel that these ringtones should cost more over a hypothetical 3G iTunes store than the current Wi-Fi option.
