Chances are good you've heard of Apple's innovative new mobile phone, the iPhone. Some of you guys might even have been lucky enough to get your hands on one. That's awesome, they're really cool phones...but where are all the awesome iPhone downloads? Where are the hottest songs as ringtones, and all your favorite videos? Sure you can use iTunes, but wouldn't you like something better?
Don't get me wrong...iTunes will probably work okay, but there are alternatives. Cheaper alternatives. iTunes isn't exactly what we'd call "inexpensive." Doesn't iTunes even charge a dollar PER SONG? Ten bucks for an album? Yeah, see...that just doesn't do it for me.
I don't have my iPhone yet, but when I get it I'm going to be loading it with music and videos...and I just don't feel like paying 99 cents per song to fill up that 8 gigs worth of space. I mean, when you've spent 20 bucks all have is 20 songs...and as any music lover will tell you, 20 songs gets old pretty fast. Any kind of mp3 player with iTunes is going to be a very expensive habit, and let's face it. Most of us who are using these things are kids or college students. I'm 19 and going to college, and I don't exactly have 20 bucks to spend every week or so on a fresh round of songs. I mean, the iPhone itself costs 600 dollars! Doesn't leave much in my entertainment budget.
So what would you say if I told you that there was a completely legal peer-to-peer filesharing service that was specifically built towards providing top-grade music and movie downloads for the iPhone, at a LOT cheaper price than iTunes?
I'm guessing I'd have to get some new shoes to replace the ones you're drooling on. Great, that's coming out of my clothing budget.
But yeah, anyways. There's a service that's a lot like the paid version of Limewire, specifically built towards iPhone downloads. A one-time fee that's ultimately less than what it would take to fill your iPhone up ONCE, and it allows for a lifetime of unlimited downloads. And I'm not just talking about music here. They've got movies, TV shows, even eBooks in their database. It's a decentralized p2p system too, so they're not going to get shut down like the infamous Napster incident.
Are you drooling on my NEW shoes? Ok, that's enough of that. Check out this other site over on Hubpages...it has some more information on this download site, and if you decide that you'd much rather hand out a moderate chunk once than let iTunes drain your bank account dry over the rest of your life, you can get to the download site from there too.
