22. Browser testing tools
iPhoney (http://www.marketcircle.com/iphoney/
An excellent free iPhone tester, iPhoney isn’t exactly an
emulator, but allows developers to create 320x480px websites for use on
the iPhone. It allows you to test images and code in a pixel-perfect Apple-
Safari-powered environment, with all the normal features including Portrait
and Landscape modes, fullscreen, zoom and plugins.
W3C mobileOK Checker (http://validator.w3.org/mobile/)
This checker is a web-based automated validation tool that checks to see
how mobile-device-friendly your website is. The tests are checked against
the W3C mobileOK Basic Tests specification developed by W3C.
iPad Peek http://ipadpeek.com/
This handy web-based tool allows you to see how your websites look when
rendered on the iPad. It’s recommended that you use a WebKit-based
browser such as Apple Safari or Google Chrome to have as accurate a
simulation as possible — or at the very least, a CSS3-capable browser that
supports transformation properties (like Opera) because it uses them to
render the page in Portrait mode.

23. 4. Modify Headers Add-on for Firefox
(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/modify-headers/)
An excellent free iPhone tester, iPhoney isn’t exactly an
emulator, but allows developers to create 320x480px websites for use
on the iPhone. It allows you to test images and code in a pixel-perfect
Apple-Safari-powered environment, with all the normal features
including Portrait and Landscape modes, fullscreen, zoom and
plugins. The mobile user agent of the phones needs to be searched
and it can be used for testing.
5. Adobe Device Central CS5
(http://www.adobe.com/products/devicecentral.html)
As part of the latest Adobe Creative Suite, Device Central
emulates the operation of mobile devices on your desktop allowing
you to test HTML and Flash from the comfort of your desktop.
6. Google Mobilizer http://www.google.com/gwt/n
Google Mobilizer is a simple web tool that lets you input a
web page address and then makes the page mobile-web-friendly by
trimming the content down to its bare essentials. This is an excellent
tool for seeing where you can make performance optimizations on
your site.

24. iPhone Configuration Utility

25. Eclipse logcat
Adb log cat also can be used.
