These are some places where you can check your website to see how it looks/works on different mobile devices: (helps if you don't own an iPad etc)


1. This thing works, i have tested it using the free trial. Needs no download. Free 30 mins testing sessions for many mobile devices.

http://www.browserstack.com

---------------------------------------------

2. This free version allows for an unlimited number of 10 mins testing on a mobile device. Here's what it says on the site "Once you register, we'll send you a link and temporary password. Log in and enjoy an unlimited number of free 10-minute spot checking sessions."

Other ways to test :

Most of the official Apple, android, blackberry mobile simulators/testers require you to have their SDK installed. Here are the links for many platforms if you prefer to go that way:

http://www.mobilexweb.com/emulators


Official blackberry site: http://us.blackberry.com/sites/develope ... ators.html

A 7 day trial version of a mobile simulator (desktop version?):

Quite weak tools to be honest ... They all just run flash inside a limited size window, which is not correct output because all mobile devices would show the dedicated mobile version of Imagevue.

You are right Mjau. I have edited the original post to remove those useless websites and replaced them with sites that work like intended.

These are the best ones i could find:

To get a general idea what mobile users would see you can launch your site with ?mobile=1 like this:

And then resize it using viewport resizer bookmarklet from here:

PS. Don't forget to open your site with ?mobile=1 first.
