luv2chill: true to a point on the slipstreaming, although the intended audience of the tools is for corporate use. The idea is that the IT pro's can set a specific canned install business wide. But yes I believe they would squawk if they were distro'd on the net... now that brings me back to PE abd UBCD and the like
But all in all I do agree with you. It's too bad this will get forced underground and I am sure the carriers have a lot to do with it. They are putting pressure on everyone now days it seems. Sad thing is I think many would have paid for an aku 3.5, sure would beat buying that ring tone for $5
I really think the carriers are missing a busniess oppurtinty to a degree, but maybe their EULA prohibits it or something.
