The dotMobi Mobile Emulator

Some of you may have noticed that we recently put a mobile phone emulator on mtld.mobi. The purpose of the emulator is simply to raise awareness to the fact that the vast majority of existing websites do not work well (if at all), on most phones.

There have been a few issues with this. As with all emulators, the emulation is not 100% perfect -- in some cases a site that may work (or partially work) on a real phone may not work on the emulator. We'll try to fix these problems as we reproduce them. Nonetheless, we feel that this is a worthwhile effort.

Feedback from around the blogosphere has been mixed -- it worked well for some, not for others.

We'd appreciate any additional feedback, specially if it helps us replicate and diagnose problems.

Please let us know!
