Classically it has been hard for Windows users to modify their iPhones. Mac users get all the cool applications like iFuntastic and such.

No more of that! iBrickr is the Windows application that makes it dead simple to modify your iPhone, add and manage custom iPhone ringtones, and install third-party iPhone applications.

To get a feel for how simple it is, check out this video from Gear Live’s Bleeding Edge:

Current iBrickr version: 0.6 Download

New in 0.5 is custom sound management (make custom lock/unlock sounds, keyboard sound, etc) and file management.

The interface is designed to read like an interactive tutorial - just download the Zip file, extract it somewhere, and run ibrickr.exe (I’ll have an installer soon). Plug in your iPhone and iBrickr will guide you straight through the steps of modifying your iPhone. Once that’s done (takes about 10 minutes), you can manage ringtones and applications to your heart’s content.

If you want to download applications on the go, you can use Nullriver’s Installer (PXL package). Just download the PXL to your computer, then install it from the Applications view in iBrickr.

If you have any issues, hit the Send Error Report link at the bottom-right of the application. The link will bring up a form where you can review the data being sent, and put in an e-mail address that I can reply to. It’s that easy.

iBrickr uses the PXL package format for iPhone applications - check the iBrickr PXL Repository for the latest app releases.
