If anyone is interested. It appears that Adobe Device Central is the thing to use... | |

I've got a PHP Class that does browser detection, seems to work but it doesn't do anything at the moment. | |

The background looks quite good, it's just because it loads seperately on every page. | |

I'm trying to figure out a better way of doing that background thing. I want to scrap it but the 'clients' want to keep it. | |

Because all I'm asking for is if anyone knows of the existence of a piece of software that can emulate a mobile browser. Not your opinion of design. | |

my point is you dont really need to create specialised templates for mobiles any more as most smartphones handle and display webpages fine, i would just concentrate on streamlining the bandwidth and maybe for button links think about the sizing to make it easier for users of touch screen phones. | |

youd be better off streamlining the sites bandwidth rather then design, most smartphone browsers can display most webpages correctly these days | |

Seems that one of my sites is getting a lot of mobile traffic. I want to be able to cater for them better so I'm going to design a mobile site when I upgrade the CMS this site is running. |
