Do you want to experience the real mobile safari in your desktop? May be you wanna try sites optimized for iPod or iPhone and if you’ve no apple device to test it, what you will do?
Ok here’s a real scenario. I’ve moved my wordpress blog to self-hosting mode. Most of the default features available in wordpress.com need to be installed as plugin in the self hosted mode.
I’ve installed WPTouch in my blog to support my blog (codereflect.com) load lightning fast on touch mobile devices, show my content beautifully, all while not interfering with my regular theme. I’ve an iPod Touch to check my website in mobile mode to see if it works.
But do you know safari can be turned in to mobile safari to see the website same as your iPhone/iPod Touch?
