Web Mobile Simulator
 
Has anyone purchased the "Web Mobile Simulator" - Iphone Mobile Simulator

That's not a simulator. It's simply an iframe inside an image of an iPhone.

If you want a real simulator, check out Mobilizer, or use the iPhone simulator in the Safari browser.

Interesting...that page looks like someones taken Quentin's iphone preview tool, combined it with powerpoints from another WSO and is now attempting to sell them both together.

Mabilizer is not a web simulator but a desktop emulator and using safari is ok but again it is a web browser not a web simulator.

A web simulator is a product, like Brandon said, which is basically an iframe inside an image which allows you to send a client a preview of their mobile site like this.

Iphone mobile simulator emulator

It will not tell if a site is mobile enabled and is mainly for showing existing mobile sites to customers.

You can buy this using the link in the example above.

I've always used the terms 'simulator' and 'emulator' interchangeably, as the dictionary definitions of those 2 words look very similar to me. So we're just talking semantics here.

Anyways, my point was simply that using something like Mobilizer or Safari (in iPhone mode, with the browser resized down to a "mobile" size) is going to give you a far more realistic representation of what a site would look like on mobile device, than an iframe viewed in Firefox or IE will.

(And I know that you already knew that, but some people viewing this thread might not.)

device anywhere is the most popular product. its a virtual phone.
however, the is a monthly fee and it can get very expensive as they
charge a flat fee and then a fee based on minutes used, charges, etc..
