PC World Magazine reported last August 31, 2007 that Ambrosia Software has come up with a custom ring tone application for iPhone fanatics. Since 1993, Ambrosia Software has been designing custom games and applications specifically for Macintosh operating systems.

The iToner costs $15 and is available for free trial or download at http://www.ambrosiasw.com. The user interface of iToner is similar to that of the iPhone, which makes it easier to navigate with. Your Mac screen will flash a virtual version of the iPhone that says “Drag ring tone sound files here”, so you can visualize what you’re doing.

Once you get the iToner loaded up on your Mac, you can sync up your iPhone to get custom ring tones. Simply drag and drop mp3 or AAC files from your Mac and your iPhone can use them as ring tones. You don’t need to reconfigure your iPhone or reset it when you want to use iToner.

Custom ring tones on your iPhone give you the freedom to organize your phonebook contacts. You can assign a romantic song for a loved one who calls, a pop song for your friends, or other types of music for individuals or caller groups.

Many users are raving about the iToner for its ease-of-use and functionality. Uploading two sound files onto the iPhone takes only about 10 seconds. The iToner program will run with future iPhone OS updates. For your Mac, running the iToner requires OS v10.4.10 or later.

Apple recently came up with other ways of putting ring tones into their iPhone, one of which is a service that lets you convert iTunes downloads into ring tones. It comes with a fee, of course. Many users comment that they would rather pay for the iToner once, than pay iTunes every time a ring tone download is made.

Ambrosia Software has already designed many games for Mac OS like Apeiron, Swoop, Maelstrom, Cythera X, Aquaria, and many more. Some of their developed utilities for Mac are Wire Tap Pro, Snapz Pro, and Dragster. The company hopes to come up with more utilities that can work both on the Mac and the iPhone.
