IPhone Emulator

Whilst testing the Aficionado.mobi site against an Iphone, we realised that it was not properly detecting that the IPhone was a smaller mobile device and it was showing the full screen version as above. I digged out the logs and saw that it was reporting as:

Mozilla/5.0 (iPod; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/4A93 Safari/419.3

I looked at the HawHaw site and saw that there was a new version available that supported IPhone so I installed this on the site.

Also whilst looking at this I spotted that there's a couple of emulators for the Windows Mobile and Mac platforms.

• IPhone Emulator for Windows Mobile
• IPhone Emulator for Mac
