Mobile simulator without flash?
 
I found some good prospects for mobile sites that use all flash. I'd like to show them a screenshot of what it looks like on an iphone. All the simulators I checked still show the page because it seems to use flash since it is on my computer when really on my phone it just shows the background an error. I'd like to be able to show them that before I meet them, any ideas?
Thank you.

Not very high tech, but take a picture of you holding your phone with the error screen on it.

That will open the conversation with them so you can explain that computer "preview" sites will work fine, but the REAL way the sites are viewed on an ACTUAL mobile device is broken.

Hope it helps!

Both great ideas, thank you. I didn't see that thread from Will, I have his WSO too, works like a charm.

How did I miss that? I even have that already but I had pulled up Mobilizer instead which does render flash. Thank you.

I use Chrome, so this option works out a whole lot better. Thanks YellowGreen!

Yeah, and the reason I prefer to use this method is because I never really liked iBBDemo and you can't take screenshots right from within the program like you can with Mobilizer. You also don't have the option of 4 different phones like you do in Mobilizer. Last but not least, you want to have a nice way to be able to search for these flash based websites so by using the firefox addon you can do a Google search, go through the various websites and look for those that are predominantly ruined by the lack of flash. This would be much more tedious in iBBDemo.
