Product review: iToner by Ambrosia Software ($15 for full license)
Author: Brian J Noe for iPhoneWorld.ca
I opened up my email yesterday and it in was a great suprise. I got the codes to activate iToner from Ambrosia Software. This software though, is made to be used with a Mac (sorry Windows machine owners). If you haven’t checked out their site you really should, as they have lots of great software.
So these special codes were to fully activate iToner, and let me just start off by saying “ I love simple easy programsâ€Â. Why do people need to struggle doing simple things? iToner is so simple I actually amazed myself. So what does iToner do? It gives you the ability to transfer your music into a ringtone on that device… oh what’s it called hum, Ha Yes the iPhone.
Here are downfalls I found with iToner: it costs 15 dollars, or they have a demo you can use for a couple of tries. All you have to do is start iToner before iTunes and that’s it, and just drag your music over. Now you can drag a full song over, which I like, or I’m sure you can find programs that will help you cut up a song to whichever point you want. Actually, Garage band is good for cutting up a song to the point want as a ringtone, but that’s not what this program does, this program gets your music over so easy. I really am in awe.
iToner Video Review
I know its just ringtones, and for some people maybe this is all they want and don’t want to unshackle or go through hacking to get their favorite song on the iPhone. I really think anyone who wants a ringtone on there simply and easily needs to give it a shot. Fifteen Dollars is nothing compared to if you start going through iTunes music store, and start making ringtones that you may already have. As well with the purchase you get the update forever for iToner for paying the fifteen dollars.
I’ve been using this for non stop for about two days putting songs on taking them off, and assigning to contacts back and forth, and nothing from iToner has crashed or messed up my iPhone. If Ambrosia can make a program like this so easy for the iPhone Iâ€Âd love to see what they can dig into and make… Please Oh Please put me on the list I’d love to try it out!!!!!!!

Rogers Communications Inc., the only provider in Canada that has appropriate mobile standards to support the iPhone, said that there is going to be a delay in its launch.
Forbes quotes Nadir Mohamed, Rogers Chief Operating Officer, as saying that the company would ‘love to sell‘ the device, however Rogers has not yet set a release date for it.
And while it would have been a huge boost for Rogers, especially in the upcoming holiday “Christmas rush” season, it seems like Canadian launch might be even after iPhone’s European launch. It appears that Apple prioritized the European launch since its market is *at least five times bigger than Canadian market.
Rogers spokeswoman said that there are no current discussions with Apple, and she didn’t comment on whether Apple has set a release date.
Earlier Rogers Director of Corporate Communications Elizabeth Hamilton confirmed to iPhone World that Rogers will launch the iPhone in Canada. Although similarly she had no further comments to make, nor an exact release date to name.
Some speculations circulating around are that Apple is looking for Rogers to lower its dataplan rates (although this was excplicitly denied by Mrs Hamilton), while another popular version is that Canada might have to wait until a 3G compatible iPhone v2.0 will appear on the market.
In the meantime, while Canadians are driving (or flying) over the American border, many of them stop by AT&T and Apple stores in order to get and subsequently unlock the iPhone, while several Canadian based online stores are selling unlocked iPhones with guaranteed fast shipment from Canada at only slightly exaggerated prices. Both of these factors might have a bad influence on official iPhone sales in Canada, once it’s officially launched here (with a contract).
*iPhone will be launched by year’s end in major European territories, with O2 in UK, Orange in France, T-Mobile in Germany, and Telefonica of Spain being the favorites for European iPhone distribution rights, according to industry insiders.

For many people, the ability to unlock your iPhone for any GSM cellular provider was a life-saver. But now the question is how do you do it? Thankfully, fellow MacUser co-blogger Cyrus Farivar wrote a guide for Macworld on how to unlock your iPhone for free.
Basically, the process involves installing AppTapp and OpenSSH for the iPhone, FTP-ing some files to the device, and running the free SIM unlock. But, since Cyrus wrote the article, the iPhoneDevTeam updated the free iUnlock and has released the final version of the unlock, anySIM, complete with a GUI interface, making the installation even easier. But, before you rush to free your all-in-one device of the chains of AT&T, do keep in mind that the SIM unlock could damage your iPhone and be disabled by future Apple updates. But, if you’re okay with living on the edge and need that wireless freedom, the opportunity is here.
