iToner: Custom Ringtones for Your iPhone
From Ambrosia Software, the developers who brought us Defcon and SketchFighter, comes a new utility for the iPhone. Most people are frustrated by the fact that they either must use the pre-loaded ringtones on their phone or pay their carrier a few dollars just to download one song. As for the iPhone, it seems that you should be able to use any of your music as a ringtone but this is not the case. However, iToner provides a simple and convenient way to add custom ringtones to your iPhone (no hacking required).
iToner supports supports both MP3 and AAC files. If you simply can’t wait till September 5th, when Apple is expected to announce such functionality within iTunes, I suggest you check this out. It is very easy to use with an intuitive interface.
When your iPhone is hooked up to your computer, iToner displays an image of the iPhone, inviting you to add the ringtones. This is accomplished by just dragging an MP3 or AAC file from iTunes onto the app. There are no hacks or cracks required; it’s as simple as dragging-and-dropping.
Once you’re happy with the selection, hit the “Sync” button and it’s all done. You can also choose to either manage your ringtones manually, or to use a playlist in iTunes. These are found under the “Advanced” button on the main screen. Ringtones can be removed when they’re no longer in fashion or if you’re just plain sick of it.
Ambroisa Software says your ringtones will “continue to work with future iPhone OS updates”. iToner is available from Ambroisa Software for just $15.
I’m sure that many people will be happy to hear about this!
Wow. I’m getting old I guess. Paying $15 for an app that does nothing but put ringtones on a cell phone. To me, it’s absolutely comical. Then again, I’m so old fashioned, I only use a phone for talking.
@Jim: Yea, I was actually pretty surprised at the price. But when you consider that today’s generation is willing to $2 for a dinky old ringtone, $15 doesn’t seem so bad.

Please correct your article, DEFCON has nothing to do with this software,Ambrosia Software or has any ties to those you believe are “the developers who brought you Defcon”. DEFCON is supportive of a open security community and provides a forum for those wishing to learn and share technology and security issues. We are opposed to un-researched claims and those wishing to use DEFCON as a forum to sell their products or services. I don’t know where the confusion came from, but I thought it noteworthy to mention.
Sorry Nikita, that was my fault. The link has been corrected.
