One problem with mobile web development is testing, which I mentioned a few months ago in a post about Opera Mobile emulator and Opera Mini simulator. Emulating or simulating a specific browser is definitely better than nothing, but what about entire mobile devices?
Many developers don’t have physical access to a whole lot of different mobile devices, and buying a load of phones and tablets just for browser checking can be hard to justify. But another option is using a simulator or an emulator for browser checking. It’s not exactly the same as using the real thing, but it beats not testing at all.
I’ve been using the iOS Simulator and the Android Emulator for this. Both are available for free and do the job.
