Test iPhone web apps without an iPhone
Authored by: bignumbers on Jun 21, '07 09:43:40AM

This is cute, but far, far from accurate. Flash and other plugins work here, they won't on an iPhone. (well, Flash renders but doesn't fully work...) There's no auto-zooming (in or out) based on layout. No iPhone stylesheet usage. All Quicktime codec's work (they don't on iPhone). RTSP works (it doesn't on iPhone). It doesn't even use the proper user-agent as their web site says. In other words it's just as if you'd taken Safari and made the window small. I'm sorry to diss MarketCircle who are really fine folks.

It's cute, but by no means should be called any sort of simulator. Very, very few web pages will look the same on this "simulator" as they will on an iPhone.
