Skype rings up ringtones deal

Skype, eBay's Internet telephone subsidiary, announced a deal Tuesday with music publishers that will make audio clips from artists like Madonna, Green Day and Red Hot Chili Peppers available to its users as ring tones. Although not an original idea it's great to see that Skype is jumping on the ringtone battleship. Now if we can just get penny ringtones.. oh wait that is what Wal-Mart is for!
