You add some queries to the URL of this site to which you can bookmark for repeated testing.

http://iphonetester.com/?orient=hort - horizontal layout
http://iphonetester.com/?url=http://rmwpublishing.net - preset URL

You can even use a combination of the two.

How is this a test?

The screen dimensions of an iPhone are the same as this test frame
The exterior look and feel are similar to a real iPhone

It's not a true test!

No it's not, but unless you have an iPhone, then it's pretty close, but you can do better

This site was whipped up one evening (I went to bed about 5 am) the day before the iPhone went on sale (29 Jul 07). iPhoney was the inspiration for the site, but I could see that something similar could be done online. That way Windows users (I feel for you) can also test sites and Mac users don't need to download another app.

I have some ideas to make this site even better and make some other iPhone specific sites. However I need an iPhone to do this. If you use this site to test your sites, please donate to help me get an iPhone.

Directories

Keep up-to-date with new iPhone purposed sites through these listings.

There are a going number of resources on the 'net for the iPhone [website] developement, Apple even has a page. But many of there sites are one-way read only documents that don't allow you add your own findings when developing a site specifically for the iPhone. iphone.wikidot.com is a free online Wiki for anyone to contribute to. Please come and add what you have found so that others without an iPhone, like me (in Australia where the I phone is not yet released) can build sites for this device.
