When developing web apps for the iphone on a mac you can test your app in either Iphoney or the apple supplied simulator; bot of them are excellent for the task but are only available for macs. So I have to ask, are windows alternative for these iphone simulators?

So far I could only find this one.

For a roundup of mobile sims see here. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/464089/simulators-emulators-for-mobile-browser-testing

Specifically http://www.testiphone.com/ (but I'm not sure of the quality of the results from this).

I've also got a Firefox plugin, but its only really good for size.

Your other option, all-be-it naughty and long winded is to run OSX - either on a hackintosh or there are blogs showing how to run it in VMWare player.

Thanks a heap, I believe that link pretty much answers the question.

You can also try iBBDemo. I relatively new at it, but so far it's the robustest free windows iPhone emulator I had tried yet.

There is also MobiOne which looks like the most promising of all.This is a windows only emulator with lots of features (setup file is 130mb). However even if its not clear right now, I believe at some point you would require to buy a license for it (considering its made by the same company that makes myEclipse, but I might be wrong).Any way its worth the download time

Hope this helps

Yep iBBDemo is what I settled with at the end, it's basically a png wrapping a safari window but it does the trick if you just want to get a feel of the UI with the right proportions.Thanks!
