Jobs wowed the applauding Macworld Expo crowd when he showed them how to navigate iTunes content using a finger on the touchscreen. The report also shows the device can be used to scroll through collections by using the first letter of the artist’s name; ‘Letter scrolling’, the report calls it.

Does this mean you cannot set one of your songs on the iphone to be a ringtone? Are they going to make you pay to download ringtones (that are not .wma or .mps files) to use on the phone?
