I have developed a responsive site. Now I want to check it for iPhone. I don't have iPhone. I came to know about iOS simulator. I am a windows user. Is it possible to use iOS simulator for testing in windows? If yes then which one and will it output as if real iPhone? I mean output will be 90% / 100% etc similar to real iPhone?
On Mac, Safari has a way to send the User-Agent string as an iOS device, and it may do a bit more fancy rendering emulations behind the scenes. I would try looking at Safari for Windows for similar features.

Problem: So I have that website which is developed with Google Web Toolkit (gwt). However, since the recent patch, the application freezes at a certain point for iPhone5 users with Safari. Other iOS-Devices like iPad seem to work fine so far.
My approach:
However, since I do not have an iPhone, I tried various online tools simulating websites on the iPhone but neither of them is having any trouble. Then I tried the Chrome's built-in device emulator which did not cause any trouble, as well.
Question: Is there any way, I can debug this case or at least reproduce it given the fact that I do not have access to an iPhone?
In case the answer is 'no': how can I debug a freezing Safari given the fact that I get access to an iPhone?
Bonus question: Why do the iPhone emulators not freeze? At least I would expect them to behave in a strange way or give me some message, that something might be wrong.
Solved the problem by using browserstack.com, which emulates an OS environment in-browser, where I could use the iPhone-Dev-Tools. Other browser-based emulators did not work as they did not emulate the OS and thus did not recreate the errors described.
I have a JQuery Mobile app. I'm curious how it looks/runs within an iPhone. I do not have an iPhone. I also, do not have a MAC. Are there any downloadable tools that I can use on a Windows 7 machine to see how the app looks within iPhone?
Thank you!
If you just need to see how your JQM app looks on iPhone you can try iphonetester.com.
You can also might be interested in much more advanced web based tool BrowserStack.
And finally if you need more than that (for example attach to iOS Safari instance to debug your mobile app code) than you need real or virtualized OSX and xCode iOS Simulator.
You can't do that in the Windows environment.
But you can use your computer to create a hackinntosh. A hackintosh is simply any non-Apple hardware that has been made—or "hacked"—to run Mac OS X. This could apply to any hardware, whether it's a manufacturer-made or personally-built computer.
Than you can use it to test an iPhone jQM app in the XCode iPhone emulator. Only downside of this method is that you can not use it to deploy final all into Apple app store.
Here's a short tutorial on what is a hackintosh and how you can deploy it on your computer: http://lifehacker.com/5841604/the-always-up+to+date-guide-to-building-a-hackintosh

Is there an established method for developing and testing an iOS PhoneGap application on Windows? We're talking about straight HTML/Javascript/CSS here. My first thought was to test with Safari with windows at various sizes (ie. 320x480 for 3GS). However, I don't know how accurate that is with regards to how the UI will respond and how images will display (especially relating to retina displays). Any ideas?
You can try using the Ripple Mobile Enviroment Emulator for Chrome

I'm currently editing our website to fit on iPad's display, however I do not have an iPad. I have tried the desktop iPad emulator called airiPad made by adobe and the online www.ipad-emulator.org/
both are working but whenever my boss send me his screenshots from his iPad it looks very different so I'm asking advice and suggestion on what emulator can I use to get the most accurate results..
P.S All of our computer units are running on windows7.
thanks..
I would suggest trying Safari under Windows, I suppose that's the best you can get on Windows.
The only thing you need from the simulator is its Webkit engine, and some 3rd party solutions hardly will deliver you the very same engine as the one on the Mac OS X or iOS.
Also, here are some Apple's guidelines on compatibility.
Which simulator should be used to test the application that support's BlackBerry 93* OS and
Which simulator can I use for Iphone.
There is no BlackBerry 9300 model as far as I know, anyhow you can use 9350 that is 4.7.x series simulators
If there was I would be very surprised. BlackBerry and Iphone are completely different OS's and such would need different emulators.
Btw even if there was some mixed hack of an emulator that claims to do both I wouldn't trust it.
For Blackberry you can download it on their website and the the same goes for Iphone.
