Review of Apple's MobileMe iDisk App

A little bit under the radar, a new app has hit the App Store that's an exclusive to MobileMe subscribers.  If you've decided to line Apple's coffers with an additional $100 per year for that fancy me.com email address and online storage, this might make you feel a little better about the money you spent.  Not a lot better, but a little bit better.

How Do I Make Any Song Into an iPhone Ringtone?

Question:

I'm searching in vain through my iTunes to find a way to make my favorite songs into ringtones for my iPhone.  I can't seem to find it.  How do I do this?

There are a few ways to do this - a sneaky (and lengthy) "manual" way, or you can use a third party program to make it easy.
