Which is just the march of technology progress, best as I can tell. What will be really notable is when everyone's making their own tones and the whole industry-sanctioned, $2-3-a-throw business dies out. But since even Steve Jobs caved to the cellular industry's demands on self-created tones, that might be years off yet.
