iPhoney – See What Your Web Sites Look like On The iPhone

// November 22nd, 2007 // mobile web

Now that the iPhone has arrived on these shores, I bet there’s a few of you out there that don’t yet own it, but can’t wait to see what your web sites will look like on apples futuristic device. Well, heres a tasty little app that you can get your claws on. It’s called iPhoney.

It’s a free open source download and the requirements are Mac OS X 10.4.7 or later. (It’s not available for PC’s). It’s a free download and once it reaches your mac, just unzip the file and place it in your applications folder.

Heres a few other things that iPhoney can do:

• Test your iPhone-enabled Web 2.0 applications and compatible web sites.
• Open any website that works with Safari (use Safari 3 beta for the most accurate experience).
• Rotate to see websites in either portrait or landscape orientation.
• Show or hide the location bar for a full-screen iPhone experience.
• Simulate the iPhone user agent, to test browser redirection scripts.
• Zoom out to see how your current pages might look while zoomed out on iPhone.
• Turn off plug-ins (including Flash, but note that they all turn off (including QuickTime).
• Automatic updates with Sparkle, so you’ll always know if there’s a new version.
• And of course, open source code so you can contribute to iPhoney’s rapid development.
