iToner 1.0.3 brings back custom ringtones

Among the functionality rendered inoperable by Apple’s 1.1.1 iPhone software update was the ability to load up your phone with ringtones made from your own music and sounds, without having to venture into the per-ringtone madness of the iTunes Store. Fortunately, the clever folks at Ambrosia have revved their iToner app to version 1.0.3. New in this version: restoring peace, harmony, and equilibrium to iPhone users everywhere.

Now, I don’t know what kind of strange voodoo or illicit deals the Ambrosia crew had to make to get iToner working again—and frankly, I don’t want to know. I’m just happy to have the Doctor Who theme song returned to its rightful place of honor as my iPhone’s primary ringtone.

As with previous versions, iToner costs $15. If you ever plan on making more than about 15 ringtones via the iTunes method, you’ll save a bundle in the long run, as long as Ambrosia can keep finding away around any roadblocks Apple might put up.
